Default archiving behavior


Redirecting archived pages

To prevent informational dead ends for site visitors, we prefer redirecting archived pages to other pages.

  1. Set up a redirect for the node

  2. Do not archive the page

By doing this, editors are still able to edit it through the Content screen, and see the screen if they are logged into drupal. But if you change the state to archived the redirect does not currently work.

** there is a ticket for this, but not sure when it will be done **

Un-archiving pages

You will need to delete the redirect first so people can access the page again.

  1. Use the “ID” column to find the node number of the page you want to unarchive.

  2. Search existing redirects for the node number.

  3. Delete the redirect.

  4. Republish the page.
