Archiving moves a simulation off your main Simulations list into the Archive list. Use it for simulations you don't need right now, to keep your workspace tidy. The simulation's content, settings and results are kept, and you can bring it back at any time with Re-Activate.
Archive a simulation
On the Simulations page, click More actions (three lines) on the simulation's card.
Click Archive.
A 3-second countdown starts. To cancel, click it before it ends. Then the simulation moves to the Archive list.
The More actions menu of a simulation card, opened with the three-lines icon (highlighted). The Archive item is highlighted, between Duplicate and Labels.
Note: you can't archive a simulation while a teammate has it open in the editor.
What happens to an archived simulation
Links and embeds stop working. Learners see a "Forbidden" page instead.
You can't open it — not preview, edit, export or duplicate it — until you re-activate it. This applies to everyone, including the owner.
Results are kept. All plays, choices and scores stay in Insights.
Play Session links keep working.
Classes: learners in a Class can still start the simulation.
Exported packages (SCORM, xAPI, HTML5) already in your LMS keep working.
Find and re-activate an archived simulation
In the left sidebar, under Simulations, click Archive.
Archived simulations have an ARCHIVED badge. On the simulation's card, click the Re-Activate icon (circular arrow).
The simulation returns to your Current list as Private. Publish it again when you're ready — see Publishing and Unpublishing a Simulation.
The Archive page. Highlighted: Archive in the left sidebar, the ARCHIVED badge on a simulation card and the Re-Activate icon (circular arrow) at the bottom of the card. Each card also shows when it was archived (for example “archived 2 weeks ago”) and a bin icon.
