Archive an employee or withdraw a publication?

Local employees and marketplace publications are separate records. Choose the action according to whether you want to change your office or stop public discovery of a role.

Compare the practical differences

Decision	Archive employee	Withdraw publication
Best fit	Stop using a local teammate while retaining history	Remove your role from marketplace discovery
Useful property	Affects your local office record	Affects the remote publication
What to check	Does not remove the public marketplace profile	Does not erase downloaded copies or recruited employees

A concrete choice

Retiring your own working teammate is a local action. Removing an outdated public role requires managing its publication on the correct server.

Verify the choice

Check both the local employee view and public publication state when both actions are intended.

Write the reason for your choice into the task brief or setup notes. Then run a small representative task and compare the actual result with the requirement that drove the decision. Keep any unmet requirement visible rather than declaring the whole workflow ready from a single successful step.
