If you don’t need a content item anymore but you don’t want to delete it, archive it. You archive an item by moving it to the Archived workflow step. It’s a workflow step like Draft or Published.When you archive a published item, it also gets unpublished. This means it’s no longer available via the Delivery API. If done by accident, this may lead to page not found errors in your app, for example.
In Content & assets, open a published item you want to unpublish and archive.
In Content details, click Unpublish and archive.
Click Unpublish and archive to confirm.

Click Unpublish and archive in the popup.
If you also selected items that haven’t been published yet, you’ll see them highlighted in yellow because they won't be archived. To archive unpublished items, change their workflow step to Archived. Your workflow setup needs to allow the transition for all the selected items.
