How to archive training surveys

Discover effective strategies for organizing and archiving training surveys to enhance data retrieval and improve future programs.

Table of Contents

You can archive training surveys and knowledge tests without contacting Support. Archiving removes the survey from employees’ available surveys while keeping all responses safely stored, and you can unarchive it whenever you need to use it again.


 

Overview

The Archive functionality lets admins archive training surveys and knowledge tests that are no longer needed or should no longer be available to employees.

Use it when you want to remove a survey from the active list without permanently deleting it. Archiving is reversible, so you can restore the survey later without losing any responses.


 

How to use

  1. In your sidebar, go to Trainings
  2. Open the relevant course 
  3. Access the Surveys tab
  4. Find the survey or knowledge test you want to archive
  5. In the three dots at the left, select Archive
  6. Confirm the action
  7. The survey is moved to the Archived view and is no longer available for employees to answer

To restore an archived survey:

  1. Access the Surveys tab
  2. Filter the surveys by Archived
  3. Find the survey you want to restore
  4. In the three dots at the left, select Unarchive
  5. The survey returns to its previous state

If you cannot find an archived survey, it is because the surveys table shows active surveys by default. Switch the filter from Active to Archived to find archived surveys.

 

 

Tips and best practices

  • Archive instead of deleting when a survey is no longer needed but you may want to access it again
  • Archiving is safe and reversible: all existing responses are kept
  • Use the Active / Archived filters to keep your survey list organised
  • Employees only see surveys they can currently answer
