# Archive a channel
|
|
|
|
You can archive channels you no longer plan to use. Archiving a channel:
|
|
|
|
- Removes it from the left sidebar for all users.
|
|
- Prevents new messages from being sent to the channel.
|
|
- Prevents messages in the channel from being edited, deleted, or moved.
|
|
|
|
Archiving a channel does not unsubscribe users, or change who can access it.
|
|
Messages in archived channels still appear in [search
|
|
results](/help/search-for-messages), the [combined feed](/help/combined-feed),
|
|
and [recent conversations](/help/recent-conversations). If you prefer, you can
|
|
configure an archived channel to [hide its
|
|
content](#hide-content-in-an-archived-channel).
|

|
|
on Zulip Cloud, or by your self-hosted server's administrator.

## Unarchiving archived channels
|
|
|
|
Zulip Cloud organizations that need to unarchive a channel can [contact Zulip
|
|
support](/help/contact-support).
|
|
|
|
If you are self-hosting, you can unarchive an archived channel using the
|
|
`unarchive_channel` [management command][management-command]. This will restore
|
|
it as a private channel with shared history, and subscribe all organization
|
|
owners to it.
