differentiate between hard concluded and soft concluded courses
I accidentally discovered that if a class is concluded by an instructor then all the enrollment details grades and everything are deleted. "hard" concluded
This is a pointless system. Why would anybody want to do that and if they did, would they not just delete the class?
I want to see a link to archive a course that gives full access to review grades and download certificates etc, rather than this "hard" conclude link.
I know this is possible, as "soft" concluded courses where the expiry date for the courses has passed are still full accessible by the instructor.

We recommend instructors do not hard conclude courses. Instead, simply set the end date of the course as appropriate. Check out the “Try new version” which allows you to easily filter by In-Progress and Ended courses. Ended courses, which are past the end date, allow full access to enrollment details, grades, etc.

Hello Andy, something to think about ... one of my colleagues is notorious for extending the End Dates of a class, sometimes for months and months. The only way I can complete the class so that it is no longer listed as a current class (for me and the students) is to Hard Conclude it.

Give me a scenario where "hard concluding" a class is useful? I can't think of one. If you don't recommend it, then remove the link or at least rename it to something more appropriate to avoid this obvious confusion.
