Archive and revoke
What they are
Section titled “What they are”- Archive takes a skill out of circulation. It leaves the catalog, so nobody can install it, but devices that already have it keep it. The skill and its history are kept, and you can unarchive it.
- Revoke is the kill switch. It stops the skill from being installed and removes it from every device that has it.
Why both exist
Section titled “Why both exist”Sometimes a skill is just outdated, and you want it gone from the catalog without disrupting people. Archive does that. Sometimes a tool is a problem and must stop working now. Revoke does that. Skills are never hard-deleted, so the history stays available for audit.
What an admin sees
Section titled “What an admin sees”On a skill’s page under Skills:
- Archive Skill asks for confirmation (Yes, Archive). Unarchive Skill reverses it.
- Revoke Access shows the impact first, then removes the skill. A revoked skill shows a Revoked badge in the list. You can unrevoke it later.
Users and devices have their own controls. See Devices and Accounts.
