# 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.

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][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](/help/contact-support)
|
|
for help.
