Deactivate or Cancel Your Kindex Plan
Account Deactivation: Some archive owners may wish to deactivate their archives for a period of time. If you are a Cloud or Closet archive owner, you may deactivate your archive by downgrading to a Kindexer plan. As the Kindexer plan does not include a personal archive, your archive will become unavailable until it is reactivated by upgrading to a Cloud or Closet plan.
- While your archive is deactivated, archive owners or collaborators may not view, search, edit, or share archive records or transcriptions.
- Your Collaborator relationships will remain intact; when your archive is reactivated, collaborators may once again access the archive
- Kindex reserves the right to limit excessive deactivation/reactivation activity.
How do I deactivate my archive?
