Namespace: microsoft.graph

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Restore an archived channel. Unarchiving restores the ability for users to send messages and edit the channel. Channels are archived via the archive API.

Unarchiving is an asynchronous operation; a channel is unarchived when the asynchronous unarchive operation completes successfully, which might occur after this method responds.

Note: An archived channel that belongs to an archived team cannot be unarchived. Unarchive the team before you unarchive the channel; otherwise, an error will occur.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.
