To archive classes in Google Classroom, the steps are generally as follows:
- Go to classroom.google.com and sign in with your Google account.
- On your Classroom homepage, locate the class you want to archive.
- On the class card, click the three vertical dots (More options).
- Select "Archive" from the dropdown menu.
- Confirm the archiving by clicking "Archive" again.
The class will then move from your active classes list to the archived section, keeping your dashboard uncluttered. You can access archived classes anytime by clicking the Menu icon and selecting "Archived classes." You can also restore archived classes if needed. These instructions work similarly on desktop browsers and mobile apps for Android and iOS, with slight variations in navigation or tap locations. Only teachers and co-teachers can archive classes; students cannot archive or delete classes. This process helps manage and organize your classes after a course or term has ended, without deleting any associated files or materials from Google Drive. If needed, multiple classes can now be archived simultaneously directly from the active classes screen on desktop. Let me know if a step-by-step guide for a specific device is needed or if more details about restoring or deleting archived classes is required. This summarized process is based on the latest official and community sources on Google Classroom archiving.
