Deleting Courses Best Practices

Hi @kristirebs12 there is no ‘archive’ option. If you delete the course though, the user’s history will go with it. Is that the desired effect? If yes, I would assume this course is not important for you to track so you might think using other options to get your folks to view the content; like using Channels. This would not track anything to the user history. Not sure if that’s what you're looking to do…??

@kristirebs12 Here’s what I do

1. Put it to Under Maintenance
2. Change the Course code to add “z_” at the front.  This puts the course shell at the bottom of the search lists in Course Management.
3. Add “ - Retired” to the course name
4. Remove the the Catalogs, learning plans and channels assignments.
5. Maybe remove the training material - depends on various situations
6. Leave the Enrollments so I can always see who took the course.
7. Change the Course Categories and Central Repostitory Category assignments to a folder that I call “Retired”

Hope that helps,
