On the other hand, deleting a course will permanently remove it from your Thinkific account, including all associated data and content.

Archive Course

Archiving a course in Thinkific is a good option if you want to temporarily remove a course from your dashboard but still want to access its content or data in the future. Here’s how to archive a course in Thinkific:

2. Click on the “Course Settings” button in the top right corner of the screen.
3. Select “Archive Course” from the dropdown menu.
4. Click the “Archive Course” button to confirm.

Once you’ve archived a course, the action will remove it from your dashboard and make it unavailable to students. However, you can still access its content and data by going to the “Archived” section of your Thinkific account.

Delete Course

If you’re sure that you want to permanently remove a course from your Thinkific account, you can delete it. Here’s how to delete a course in Thinkific:

By following these steps, you can easily remove a course from your Thinkific account, whether you archive it or delete it permanently.

By following these steps, you can download a backup of your course and keep it safe if you need to access it.

Data Export

In addition to backing up your course content, you may also want to export any important data associated with the course, such as student progress or course analytics. Here’s how to export course data in Thinkific:

1. Log in to your Thinkific account and navigate to the course from which you want to export data.
2. Click on the “Analytics” tab in the course dashboard.
