How to Archive a Group:


If you are finished using a group, it's simple to archive the group so that it removes it from your screen, but keeps it handy in case you need to review content or student records. 


Here is the workflow to archive a group: 


1) Group Manager > Archive Group button (upper right corner of Group Manager screen)


2) Respond to the warning prompt "The page at portal.3dgamelab.org says: Are you sure?"by clicking 'Ok'


3) How can you confirm archive was successful? Look for the popup message "Your group was successful archived." And, the group will no longer show up in your group list. 



Why Archive a Group?


It's helpful to archive a group for the following reasons. 

  • the course is over and the students are gone; it helps clean up your work area in your group list.
  • the course is over and the students are gone; it helps reclaim unused seats toward your total available student seats.
  • maybe you tried out creating a group and decided not to use it; you can archive rather than delete if you think it might be useful in the future.
