# Archiving Staff

If you need to remove someone from staff management (test staff member, instructor that is no longer working, etc...), you will use the Archive Staff function. This removes the staff member from active staff lists (staff management, scheduling, hiring) and will prevent the staff member from logging into flaik. All of the staff member's data will be preserved in the Archive if you need to restore them in the future. 

To **archive a staff member**, head to staff management.

Select the individual (or individuals) that you would like to archive from the left check box and then click on "Archive staff" in the right hand action panel.

You'll see a prompt asking you to confirm that you want to archive the staff member.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledgebase.flaik.com/flaik-knowledge-base/for-sups-managers/staff-management/staff-management-archive/archiving-staff.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
