Archive Old Courses?

[denise_lombardo]

HI all...is there a way to archive old courses from an admin level so that when teachers or course designers are looking to import or copy materiasl they don't have to wade through a list of courses frm the past five years? I could swear I've seen this settig previously, but don't know where. Our course designers need to go into a new shell, import content from an old course - but they never need to go further back than the past two years...

Hi  @denise_lombardo  Thank You for your very important question. There's nothing like a good spring clean.

I think this guide has the information you need https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-12970-4152719643 

It contains a few options depending on how your institution has things set up.

Sing out if you need a hand.

 @Bobby2 ‌ what about as an admin?  I just looked at a settings for an individual course from several years ago and I cannot tell if it's concluded or not.  "Conclude course" is not listed on the settings page.   

Edit:  Actually, I think the course was concluded.....I am just trying to find a way that only courses in the active term will appear on my admin page.  Is that possible?  @sanders3  I'm tagging you because I'm thinking maybe you can help me too.
