Use this interactive demo to learn how to hide an unused space in Confluence without deleting it.

Quick summary

Archiving a space in Confluence removes it from active navigation while preserving all its pages and content. This is useful for retiring outdated project spaces without permanently deleting any data.


Steps

  1. Go to the space you want to archive.
  2. Click Space settings (the gear icon in the sidebar).
  3. Scroll down and click "Archive space."
  4. Click "Archive space" again on the confirmation screen to continue.
  5. Click "Archive" to confirm the action and complete the process.

📌 Why this matters

Archiving a Confluence space lets teams declutter their workspace by hiding inactive or completed project spaces without permanently losing any content. This feature is essential for Confluence administrators and team leads who need to keep their knowledge base organized and navigation clean. Unlike deletion, archiving preserves all pages and history, making it easy to restore a space if it becomes relevant again. It helps organizations maintain a tidy, searchable Confluence environment as their number of spaces grows over time.
