# 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 **All messages**.
|
|
|
|
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 streams](/help/rename-a-stream) rather
|
|
than archiving them.
|
|
|
|
### Archive a stream

|
|
Archiving a stream is currently irreversible, but we plan to add support
|
|
for unarchiving streams in the future.
