Archiving a channel will immediately unsubscribe all users from the channel,
remove the channel from search and other typeaheads, and remove the channel's
messages from **Combined feed**.
Archiving a channel will hide the channel from most views in the UI.
Archiving a channel does not delete a channel's messages, and its
messages will remain accessible via search and the like, unless you
first change the channel's access permissions.

Archiving a channel does not delete a channel's messages. Users will still be
able to find any given message by searching for it. However, links to
messages and topics in the channel may or may not continue to work.
Archiving a channel does not remove subscribers or change its access
permissions.

In most cases, we recommend [renaming channels](/help/rename-a-channel) rather
than archiving them.
Consider [renaming channels](/help/rename-a-channel) rather than
archiving them where appropriate.
