Summary

Information on how to archive or restore a Team from an archive in Microsoft Teams

Body

Questions

  • How do I retain the communications and files from a Microsoft Team that I own and is no longer in use?
  • How can I reduce the amount of active Teams in my Teams app?
  • How do I restore a Team that I have archived?

Environment

Teams serve as a valuable tool for communication and collaboration. Some Teams are built with the intention to use for a shorter duration. For example, a Team used to help foster communications during a specific project. The information in these Teams is valuable, but the Team has served it's purpose but no longer needs to be active for communication or file sharing capabilities.

Resolution

Please review this Microsoft documentation for up to date instructions on how to archive or restore your Team.
