- Only the group owner has the ability to archive and restore a workgroup.
- The team members should be informed that it will be archived and that no new information can be added there.
- A team that has been archived is moved to the Hidden Teams section at the bottom of the Teams page.
Please note that only Teams and SharePoint enter read-only status when archiving a Teams workgroup. Planner would not become read-only if it was also used by the workgroup. |
