What happens when I archive a user field?

Archiving a user field hides it across Mitti and removes it from user profiles. The data stored in the field is retained. If you restore the field, your data becomes available again. To permanently remove a user field and its data, delete the field instead of archiving it.

You can't archive a custom field while it's used in group membership, site membership, or course assignment rules. Remove the field from the rules, then archive the field.
