You can archive a published course when you don’t need it anymore. Archiving a course means:
When you archive a published course, Safety Made Simple removes the course from the internal catalog, and from the list of courses available for enrolling new learners.
For learners who are already enrolled in the course, the archived course is visible from Home or My Learning pages.
Learners in Not Started and In Progress states can complete the course. When they finish the course they can access the course’s content details page, and download any associated certificate. They can’t re-enroll or request enrollment again.
For learners who need to recertify on courses: archiving a course ends the course's recertification workflow. If learners must keep their certifications up to date, make sure you either set up a new course with certificates, or create a new version of the course instead.
This same option - accessing an archived course through a learning path - is available when you re-version a course to update it with new content. See “Publish a new version of a course”.
Archiving is available only for published courses. You can delete courses in Draft status, without needing to archive them.
This feature is available to people who create and edit courses: admins, instructors and managers with instructor permissions.
When complete, the course appears in Courses, marked Archived.
The following screenshot shows the confirmation dialog for this step, for a sample course on a learning path. The text reads:
