In this guide, you will find instructions about archiving a workgroup in Teams.
When a team is archived, it becomes read-only. You can still search the team and its contents, but you can't send emails to it anymore.
Guides

- Locate the workgroup that needs to be archived, click the three-dot menu, and then choose Archive team.
- Click Archive after selecting Make the SharePoint site read-only for team members.
- Only the group owner has the ability to archive and restore a workgroup.
