How do I archive a class in Quill?

You can archive any of your Quill classes at any time on the Active Classes page, which is located in the My Classes tab of your Quill account.

To archive a class, click any one of your classes on the Active Classes page and click the Archive button, which is located just under the Class settings copy.

When you click the Archive button, a form asking you to confirm whether or not you would like to archive this class will appear. This form communicates that if this class is archived, the students rostered in this class will no longer be able to access the activities assigned to this class because the data associated with this archived class will be archived.

Tip πŸ’‘: Although this class will be archived, you will be able to see this class in the Archived Classes sub-tab located in the My Classes tab and unarchive the class.


When do I archive a class?

  • If you've created an accidental or duplicate class and would like a way to remove it, you can archive a class.

  • At the end of the school year, you can archive a class to remove any clutter from your Quill account and to prepare your Quill account for the coming school year.

  • If you are at the end of a semester and have semester-long courses, you can archive a class to remove any clutter from your Quill account and to prepare your Quill account for the coming semester.


What happens to student data when a class is archived?

Archiving a class in Quill will remove any data associated with the students rostered in this class and will remove this class from your students' Quill accounts, so be sure that you've completely wrapped up work with a Quill class before you archive it.


How do I unarchive a class?

If you would like to unarchive any class that was previously archived, you can always navigate to the Archived Classes page, which is located in the My Classes tab.

Then, find the class that you'd like to unarchive and click the Un-archive button for that class. That will unarchive the class, move the class back to the Active Classes page, and restore students' access to that class in their Quill accounts. To restore that classroom's data, please reach out to support@quill.org and let us know the name of the class section whose data you would like restored.
