What happens when a video is archived?
When a video is archived, the following happens:
- The video is placed in a separate collection in your library.
- If it is uploaded to a Canvas course, it will no longer be visible.
- A video that has been shared outside of Canvas, with public links, can still be viewed via the links.
When should you archive?
You should archive a video when
- it is no longer in use
- it is not part of any active course and has not been viewed by students in a year
- it is a test video that is just taking up space.
If you want a video to be permanently deleted, you can mark it with the tag “DELETE.” Our administrators clear all videos with that tag once a week without viewing the material. To find out how to archive and delete videos, read our guide in Canvas:
