Archive or delete a team in Microsoft Teams
- 23 contributors
- Applies to: Microsoft Teams
Over time, a team created in Microsoft Teams might fall out of use or you might want to archive or delete a team at the end of a project. If you're a Microsoft Teams admin, follow the steps in this article to archive or delete a team that's no longer needed. (If you're a team owner, you can also archive a team .)
When you archive a team, all activity for that team ceases. Archiving a team also archives private channels in the team and their associated site collections. However, you can still add or remove members and update roles and you can still view all the team activity in standard and private channels, files, and chats.
When you delete a team, team activity in standard and private channels (and associated site collections), files, and chats are also deleted.
Archived teams can be reactivated, but you can't directly restore a team that has been deleted. Consider archiving the team first, and postpone the deletion until you're sure that you no longer need the team.
Archive a team
Follow these steps to archive a team. You must be a Teams service admin to make these changes. See Use Teams administrator roles to manage Teams to read about getting admin roles and permissions.
- In the admin center, select Teams .
- Select a team by clicking the team name.
Select Archive . The following message will appear.
To prevent people from editing the content in the SharePoint site and Wiki tab associated with the team, select Make the SharePoint site read-only for team members . (Teams owners will still be able to edit this content.)
Select Archive to archive the team. The team's status will change to Archived , it will be temporarily available inside Hidden teams located at the bottom of the teams list, and a small icon representing the archived state will be added next to it. Once it is removed from Hidden teams it will be available in the Manage teams view under Archived . To view and search through the content of the archived team, select its name in the Archived list.
Make an archived team active
Follow these steps to make an archived team active again.
- Select Restore . It might take some time for the team's status to change back to Active . Note that it will not be moved back inside Your teams automatically.
Delete a team
If the team will not be required in the future, then you can delete it rather than archiving it. Follow these steps to delete a team.
- Select Delete . A confirmation message will appear.
- Select Delete to permanently delete the team.
Restore a deleted team
Follow these steps to restore a deleted team by restoring the Microsoft 365 group that's associated with the team. Restoring the Microsoft 365 group for a team restores team content, including tabs, standard channels, and private channels and their associated site collections.
By default, a deleted Microsoft 365 group is retained for 30 days. This 30-day period is called "soft-delete" because you can restore the group. To learn more, see Restore a deleted Group .
For more information on restoring a deleted team from Teams Admin Center, see Manage teams in the Microsoft Teams admin center .
Install the Microsoft Graph PowerShell module
Open Windows PowerShell as an admin.
If you have an earlier version of the Microsoft Graph PowerShell module installed, update it by running the following:
To install afresh, run the following:
Restore the deleted Microsoft 365 group
Connect to Microsoft Entra ID by running the following:
When you're prompted, sign in using your admin account and password.
Run the following to display a list of all soft-deleted Microsoft 365 groups that are still within the 30-day retention period. Use the -All $True parameter if you have many groups.
Find the group that you want to restore, and then make a note of the Id .
Run the following to restore the group, where [Id] is the group ID.
Run the following to verify the group was successfully restored, where [Id] is the group ID.
It can take up to 24 hours for the restore process to complete, after which the team and content associated with the team, including tabs and channels, is displayed in Teams.

How to remove Assignments from Microsoft Teams EDU
You can learn more about Assignments and Grades in Teams for Education here .
Higher ed customers may want to disable the Assignments app because they already use other ways of assigning and tracking assignments. For them, it can be confusing to students and faculty when the Assignments app is pinned to the left rail of Teams.
Pinned apps in Teams are normally assigned using a Setup Policy in the Teams Admin Center at https://admin.teams.microsoft.com ( Teams apps > Setup policies ). Here, you can configure which apps are pinned to the Teams app navigation bar and the order in which they are displayed.
Notice that the disappearing banner at the top of the policy says, " Because you have at least one Office 365 Education license, the Assignments app will be automatically included in each app setup policy. " You will also notice that the Assignments app is not listed as a pinned app, so you cannot remove it.
In order to remove Assignments from pinned apps, configure a Permission Policy ( Teams apps > Permission policies ). Customers who want to remove this would normally edit the Global (Org-wide default) policy, but you can also create a new policy for this and assign it to specific users.
Edit the policy thusly:
- Under Microsoft apps , select " Block specific apps and allow all others " in the dropdown list.
- Click the Block apps button .
- Search for " Assignments ", then click Add , and Block .
- Click the Save button.

How to Use Assignments in Microsoft Teams: Quick 12-Minute Tutorial for Teachers
Sara Wanasek
Using Microsoft Teams in the classroom gained popularity during the pandemic. However, it can, and is, being used in both online and physical classrooms today. As a learning management tool, Teams works seamlessly with other Microsoft products like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint which are classic favorites for students and teachers alike.
This multi-functional tool allows you to stay in touch with your students not only through video calls, but with chats, files, and assignments in Microsoft Teams. Teams can seem daunting when you first begin to use it, but it really is quite simple and easy to use. To make it seem less intimidating, we have broken down and explained some main features of Teams separately. Here are links to our other guides on features of Microsoft Teams:
- Microsoft Teams for Online Teaching – A Guide for Teachers
- Using Breakout Rooms in Microsoft Teams
- Assignments in Teams
- Class Notebook in Microsoft Teams
- 15 of the Best Teams Tips and Tricks .
Below is a quick, everything-you-need-to-know guide on assignments in Microsoft Teams. Let’s get started!
Create an Assignment in Microsoft Teams
To begin creating assignments in Microsoft Teams, you first need to be sure of two things:
- You are logged in with a Microsoft EDU account
- The Team you have created is a Class Team type
If both of those things are complete you will be able to see the Assignments tab on the side ribbon and on the top ribbon in the General channel. If you need help getting to know the interface and basics of Teams, check out our Teams Guide for Teachers.
Start a New Assignment
Now, to create your assignment, click on the Assignments tab from the top ribbon under your General Channel. Click Create , and then Assignment , to begin your first assignment. You can explore creating a quiz with the help of Microsoft Forms and creating an assignment based on a pre-existing assignment another time.
Add Assignment Details
In your new assignment, add a title and a description to let your students know what to do to complete the assignment.
If you prefer to attach the instructions as a document, or have supporting materials to the assignment, you can attach them under the Add Resources link. Teams allows you to attach files in many different ways: through your OneDrive, ClassNoteBook, from a link, by creating a new file, or from uploading a document from your computer.
When you attach a resource, you have the option to allow students to edit it or not. By default, they cannot edit; however, if you prefer to change this, just click on the three dots at the end of the resource and click, Students edit their own copy. Now, when students edit this file, a new copy will be made for them, and it is automatically attached to this assignment for an easy turn-in.
Set Points and a Rubric
To easily grade this assignment in Teams, assign the number of points it is worth, or add a rubric . Similar to creating assignments, you can use a pre-existing rubric, upload one, or create a new one.
Creating a new rubric is very customizable so you are able to add all the information your students need to complete the assignment. Just add a title , and a description , then fill in the rest of the rubric. If you need more categories , just click the plus button at the end of the columns, or after the bottom row. In addition, you can assign points to each category of the rubric.
Choose Students to Assign the Work to
The next step in creating an assignment is to assign it to your students. You can assign it to all of them, or a certain student(s) for more individualized work. Just click Assign to All, or go through the list and click the students you would like to assign this to.
Give a Due Date & Close Date
In Teams, there are two different categories of dates for when the assignment is due.
Due Date: This is when the assignment is due, however, students are still able to turn in the assignment late, after the due date has passed.
Close Date: This is when the assignment closes and no more submissions are allowed.
To set both of these, and schedule this assignment for the future, click Edit under the Due Date section. To set a Close Date , click the checkbox on the side and set the date.
When all of your setups are complete, back at the top of the page, click assign, or save for later if it still needs a bit more work.
How Students Can Turn in Assignments
After you assign an assignment, students will receive a notification. They are able to view the assignment in the General Channel or on the Assignment tabs.
The student’s view of the assignment is very similar to the teacher’s view. They will see the Due Date and Close Date, the instructions, any files you have attached, and a rubric if there is one.
Students can begin their assignments right away in Teams if you have attached a document for them to work on. In the example below, students would be using PowerPoint on their desktops simultaneously with ClassPoint to make their presentations more interactive. As they work, their changes will be saved automatically. If you don’t have a document attached, students can upload and attach their work instead.
When they have completed their work, they just need to click Turn In. They will see a fun animation appear indicating the turn-in is successful.
How to Grade Assignments
Once students have turned in their work, you will receive a notification. Now, you can easily look over and grade their work. Click into an assignment to view how many students have turned in their work, how many need grading, and how many you have already graded.
To grade an assignment, click on the Turned in status. Here, you are able to view their work alongside a tab for you to give them feedback. If you have a rubric , it will open for you to assign the points for each category. Scrolling down, you can leave feedback to let them know what they excelled at and what needs more work.
When the grading is completed, you can return it to the student. They can view your feedback, make changes, and turn it in again if necessary.
To easily jump between students for a continuous grading experience, click the arrows on the side of the student’s name, or click on the student’s name for a drop-down menu of your other students.
Export Grade Data
In Teams, it is really easy to export data, especially for assignments. You can export data for certain assignments, in addition to exporting all assignments and student grade data. This can be done from the Grades pivot on the top toolbar. You will see a complete list of your students, and of each assignment on this tab that you have assigned throughout the year.
Frequently Asked Questions
And that completes this tutorial on Assignments in Microsoft Teams! There is plenty you can do with this feature on Teams to make it suitable for your students and classroom. Enjoy using it to its fullest potential.
We have put together some frequently asked questions in case you still have some lingering questions before you get started!
What if I don’t see the Assignments tab?
If you don’t see the Assignment tab on the top ribbon in your General channel, or on the side ribbon, you are not logged in with a Microsoft EDU account. Create your own, or get in touch with your IT department for your login.
What is the difference between the Due Date and the Close Date?
Students can still turn in Assignments after the Due Date has passed, but once the Close Date has passed, no more submissions are allowed.
If I return the assignment to my student does that mean I want them to redo it?
Not necessarily. You can return all assignments to the students so that they can see your feedback. If you want a student to redo the assignment, you should let them know in your feedback.
Can I attach a PDF for my students to edit to the assignment?
You can do this through your Class Notebook! Insert the PDF to a Class Notebook page and set it as the background. Then, you can assign this page to your students.
Watch this for a visual guide on how to insert a PDF to a Class Notebook page.
Can I assign an assignment to a certain channel?
Unfortunately, no. You can only assign to the General Channel, which is all your students, or assign to individual students when setting up the assignment.
