Archiving Child Profiles

How to archive, restore, and manage inactive child profiles without losing any data.

Archiving lets you hide a child's profile from your active dashboard without deleting any of their data. It's ideal for children who are taking a break, have outgrown the platform, or when you want a cleaner dashboard view.

When to Archive vs Delete

ScenarioRecommendation
Child is taking a breakArchive — restore when they return
Child has outgrown AletheiaArchive — preserve their history
You want to free a profile slotArchive — slot frees up on Family plan
You're 100% sure you want data goneDelete (irreversible)

How to Archive a Profile

  1. Sign in to your parent account
  2. Click the child's card on your dashboard
  3. Go to Profile Settings (gear icon)
  4. Click Archive Profile
  5. Confirm the action

The profile disappears from your main dashboard immediately. All data is retained.

What Gets Archived

Everything associated with the child is preserved:

  • Conversation history
  • Flashcard decks and review progress
  • Quiz scores and badges
  • Stars, streaks, and achievements
  • Subject and curriculum settings

How to Restore an Archived Profile

  1. Go to Dashboard → Settings → Archived Profiles
  2. Find the child's profile
  3. Click Restore

The profile reappears in your active dashboard. The child can sign in again with the same family code and PIN.

Note: Their streak counter will reset since they were inactive. All other data picks up exactly where they left off.

Profile Slots

Each plan has a limit on active child profiles:

  • Free / Starter: 1 active profile
  • Family: Up to 5 active profiles
  • Family+: Up to 10 active profiles

Archived profiles do not count against your slot limit. So if you're on the Family plan with 5 active children, you can archive one to free up a slot and add a new profile.

Deleting a Profile Permanently

If you decide to permanently delete:

  1. Dashboard → Child Profile → Settings → Delete Profile
  2. Type the child's name to confirm
  3. Click Delete Permanently

This action cannot be undone. Consider exporting conversation history first (see your privacy settings).
