When you Archive a structure it becomes read-only and is hidden from search results and menus. The issues within the structure are not affected in any way. They remain in Jira and can still be part of another structure.
To archive a structure:
Find the structure you'd like to archive and click the Archive link in the Operations column.
Review the structure you are about to archive and confirm the operation. You can Unarchive the structure in the future.
You need Control access level to be able to archive a structure.
If there are any synchronizers installed for the structure you archive, they will be disabled.
You can restore an archived structure to make it editable and visible in all menus.
To unarchive a structure:
Once you locate the structure, click the Unarchive link in the Operations column.
You need Control access level to be able to unarchive a structure.
Archived structures can be found on the following tabs on the Manage Structures page:
When an archived structure is opened, an Archive label appears next to the structure's name, so users can quickly identify it and know that it is read-only.
If there are any synchronizers installed for the structure you archive, they will be disabled. After unarchiving, we recommend that you review the synchronizers configuration and resync prior to enabling them.
Until the structure is unarchived, you cannot resync and enable synchronizers. However, you can Export an archived structure, if you have a special permission to control synchronizers.
