Archive a stream

{!admin-only.md!}

Archiving a stream will immediately unsubscribe all users from the stream, remove the stream from search and other typeaheads, and remove the stream's messages from Combined feed.

Archiving a stream does not delete a stream's messages. Users will still be able to find any given message by searching for it. However, links to messages and topics in the stream may or may not continue to work.

In most cases, we recommend renaming channels rather than archiving them.

Archiving a stream is currently irreversible via the UI.

Unarchiving archived streams

If you are self-hosting, you can unarchive an archived stream using the unarchive_stream management command. This will restore it as a private stream with shared history, and subscribe all organization owners to it. If you are using Zulip Cloud, you can contact us for help.
