About archiving pull requests

Archiving a pull request removes it from public view while preserving its history for repository administrators. This provides a safer moderation path when they need to take a pull request out of public view without permanently deleting it.

When a pull request is archived:

  • The pull request is only visible to repository administrators. Visitors without administrator access to the repository receive a 404 error.
  • The pull request is automatically closed and locked.

When you unarchive a pull request, it becomes visible again, but it remains closed and locked. You can reopen and unlock it separately if needed.
