How to Archive My Data

PREMIUM FEATURE: You Can Archive Users, Teachers, Walkthroughs and Templates

The Data Archiving feature is a premium feature that allows users with the District Admin and School Admin roles to archive users, teachers, walkthroughs, and templates from during the year or the past academic year.

Archiving data allows you and your team to start each school year with a clean slate. You can easily archive users, teachers, walkthroughs, and templates to maintain a clean and organized workspace.

How To Archive Data


Steps:
1. Log into your Education Walkthrough account.
2. Navigate to the Settings page.
3. Scroll down to School Settings, and select a school from the list.
4. You will see a few options including Archive Past Data; click Archive Data.
5. Follow the instructions to complete the archival process.

Once you’ve made your selections, click Save and Continue.

All data associated with any user, teacher, walkthrough, or template will be preserved and accessible to you even if you decide to archive it.

Viewing Archived Data

You can find any user, teacher, walkthrough or template that has been archived by navigating to that page and locate the archived tab directly beneath the filter and search tools (ex. Navigate to Templates and you’ll see Archived Templates). Lastly, archiving will reflect on all other user accounts.

Quick Tip

Update your School year calendar information within your account to make the archiving process even more seamless. Simply navigate to Settings, and for your District-Wide Settings select Edit Calendar, then input the start date and end date of the school year. You can also select the type of schedule as well (eg. Quarters vs. Semesters). Be sure to click Save when finished!
