How to restore archived coursed

This guide explains how to locate and restore a course that has been archived. Whether a course was archived by mistake or you have decided to reintroduce an old module, the restoration process allows you to bring the course—and its associated data—back into your active library.

Top tips before you begin

• The Safety Net: Think of the "archive" as a temporary holding area. While items here are hidden from learners and standard reports, they are not permanently gone.

• Check Your archive: If you can't find a course in your main list, always check the "archived" area first before assuming it has been permanently removed.

• Review Settings: When you restore a course, it is often a good idea to check the "Assigned Teams" and "Due Dates" to ensure they are still relevant before making the course active again.

Restoring Archived Courses

If a course has been moved to the archive, it can be recovered and returned to your managed courses list with just a few actions.

5. From the dropdown list, select Restore.
