Looking to archive, not delete, Catalog courses that have already happened and have passed. We'd like to keep the information for reference but don't need to clog up the list of programs/courses we have. Is this doable?
Hello @HannahDan - good question. Late last year, Instructure rolled out a new offering for all Canvas LMS customers called Canvas Archiving powered by K16 Solutions. Canvas Archiving allows institutions to back up their data, control user access, and maintain a cleaner version of their Canvas instance. You can push individual, archived course content to the LMS and retrieve student data and submissions as needed.
Many Canvas customers are already using this solution. Below are a couple of recent case studies and an attached infographic on this offering.
I hope that helps.

@HannahDan I heard K16 had issues with retrieving courses that have been archived. When you speak with them please make sure there is a solution. Since I don't want you to be stuck.
Hi @HannahDan - just to be clear, there are absolutely no complications with recovering an archived course. The K16 team would be happy to spin up a sandbox for you to test anytime, and we can get you in touch with other Canvas Archiving customers if you would like.

I don't want to set up a program because they may not want to take the training if they took course A and decided that training isn't…
Is there anything in the works for an admin 'master' Calendar to be used inside of Catalog similar to what's used inside of the LMS? Consisting of things such as enrollment count, course dates/times, description, cost, etc.?? In our thinking it would be a tool specifically for admins in catalog.
Currently, the listings filters only allow filtering by Listing Creation Date. Is there a way to filter by course's start or end dates instead? In our case, listings are created at various times, but we track revenue and enrollment by academic term/semester (which, I can specify using date ranges on course dates), not by…
We have had several failed enrolments caused (on most occasions) by system outages. Unfortunately we only find out because the learner complains - although this prompts a search for others which we can be proactive for. Reporting is needed to identify these learners who have commenced an order but have failed to enrol. We…
I do see that one can gift a course using bulk enrollments, but it would help if this were more user-friendly. It is unclear to users what a "bulk enrollment" means and how to use it as a gift. Can there be a simple "Gift This Course" label and feature, along with a short video tutorial on how to use the Gift This Course…
