Navigate to the "Funds" page in Kindful.

Locate the fund that you wish to archive or deactivate/disable.

Click on the "Edit" button located to the far right of the fund.

In the pop-up window that appears, find the "Status" section and click on the drop-down menu.

Select "Archive" as the status for the fund from the drop-down menu.
