Archiving Inventory Lists

Archive lists, exhibitions, fairs, and inventory sets you're finished with, and find them again on the archived collections page.

Written by Kalila Richards

Old lists no longer have to sit in your active view or be deleted outright.

Collections: lists, exhibitions, and fairs can now be archived and unarchived, with a dedicated page for everything you've archived.

Archiving keeps the record and its works intact. It just moves the collection out of your day-to-day view.


🗂 How to archive a collection

  1. Go to Inventory and open the list, exhibition, fair, or set you want to archive.

  2. Tap on the three vertical dots to open the list options. Click "Archive List" from the actions menu, then confirm.

  3. The collection moves off your active lists view.

To bring it back, open the archived collections page from the inventory dropdown and choose Unarchive.


🔐 Permissions

Archived collections respect the same view permissions as active ones. If a list was private to you, it stays private once archived; if it was visible to the team, the archived version is too.


🆚 Archive vs. delete

What happens

Archive

The list and its contents are kept and can be restored at any time.

Delete

The list is removed permanently. The artworks themselves stay in inventory.

Archiving is the safer choice for past exhibitions and fairs you may want to reference later.


❓FAQs

Q: Does archiving a list archive the artworks in it?

A: No. Only the collection is archived. The works stay exactly as they are in inventory.

Q: Can archived lists still be used in an Online Viewing Room?

A: Unarchive the list first if you need to work with it again.
