Archive a classification level

You can stop using a classification level by archiving it.

When you archive a published classification level, users won’t be able to classify pages and issues at that level anymore. All pages and issues classified at this level will become unclassified, unless the spaces or projects they belong to have a default classification level that’s not the one that was archived.

However, those pages and issues will retain a history of this classification level. In the event that the classification level is restored and published again, those pages and issues will regain this classification level.
