What happens when a profile is archived?

Describes what happens when a person profile is archived.

Updated over 10 months ago

When a profile is archived, the following occurs:

  • The profile becomes read-only. All data is still fully accessible

  • It is not shown in the people directory by default

  • The People Query Builder's default filter results in archived profiles being ignored. 

  • Any involvement they had in the church will be removed or closed as appropriate (see section below).

  • A note type of “Archived Notes” is added to the person's profile with details.

Note: you can still email, text and otherwise communicate with archived profiles. You can also add them to groups, workflows, contributions, etc, but they will then be unarchived automatically. Of course, you can manually unarchive at any time as well. An archived profile will still count toward your profile quota.
