Archiving context kinds

This topic explains how to archive and restore archived context kinds.

Archive context kinds

Archiving a context kind makes it unavailable for flag and segment targeting and unavailable for use in experiments.

To archive a context kind:

1. Navigate to the Contexts list.
2. Click the gear icon on the right. The context kinds list appears.
3. Click the three-dotoverflow menu icon next to the context kind you want to archive. The “Edit context kind” dialog appears.
4. Click Archive.

The context kind is now hidden from the contexts kinds list and is not available in flag and segment targeting rules.

Archive the user context kind

If you need to, you can archive the user context kind. The process for doing so is slightly different than archiving other context kinds.

1. In the left sidebar, click Code. The CodeControl menu appears.
2. Click Contexts.
3. Click the gear icon on the right. The context kinds list appears.
4. Click the three-dot overflow menu icon next to the user context kind. The “Edit context kind” dialog appears.
5. Deselect the “Available for experiments and guarded rollouts” checkbox.
6. Click Save.
7. Return to the “Edit context kind” dialog for the user context kind. The “Archive” option is now enabled.

Restore archived context kinds

To restore an archived context kind:

1. In the left sidebar, click Code. The CodeControl menu appears.
2. Click Contexts.
3. Click the gear icon on the right. The context kinds list appears.
4. Check the Show archived context kinds checkbox at the top of the context kinds list.
5. Click the three-dot overflow menu icon next to the context kind you want to restore. The “Edit context kind” dialog appears.
6. Click Restore.

The context kind displays on the context kinds list and is available for targeting.
