Archived Rooms: Hide inactive Rooms without deleting them

Written by Joice
Updated this week

Archive a Room when you want to remove it from your active workspace without deleting its content. Use this to keep the Rooms dashboard clean while preserving the Room for future reference. Archived Rooms stay out of the main Room list, and external visitors can no longer enter them. If someone tries to open an archived Room, Aligned shows them that the Room is archived and tells them to contact the Room owner.

Troubleshooting & Error States

Q: My customer says they can’t open the Room anymore.

Answer: Check whether the Room is archived. Unarchive it if you want the customer to regain access.

Answer: Keep the Room archived. Archiving hides the Room without deleting it.

Answer: Only Admin and Room owner can archive room.

Q: Will I know if someone tries to enter an archived Room?

Answer: Yes. The Room owner receives an email when someone tries to enter an archived Room.

Pro-Tips

  • Archive closed or inactive Rooms instead of deleting them when you may need the content later.

  • Archive Rooms during workspace cleanup so your active dashboard stays focused on current deals and customers.
