Default archiving behavior
The page will be marked as unpublished in Drupal. Editors can still view and edit the page as normal.
The page is no longer visible to the public. The public will see this screen:
Redirecting archived pages
To prevent informational dead ends for site visitors, we prefer redirecting archived pages to other pages.
Set up a redirect for the node
Archive the page
By doing this, editors will no longer be able to view the page. They will still able to edit it through the Content screen:
Un-archiving pages
You will need to delete the redirect first so people can access the page again.
Use the “ID” column to find the node number of the page you want to unarchive.
Search existing redirects for the node number.
Delete the redirect.
Republish the page.
