Archiving takes a card out of use while keeping it and its setup intact. An archived card cannot be selected in segments or destinations, and no data updates are processed for it. ## Archive a card Open the card, open the menu in the upper right corner and pick **Archive card**. Confirm with **Yes, archive card**. Archive card dialog The card moves to **Archiving** while the work runs, then to **Archived**. A card that is in use cannot be archived — remove it from those segments and destinations first. Archive blocked on a card in use Archiving is not possible while the card is **Updating**. ## Find archived cards Archived cards are hidden from the **Cards** list by default. Set the **Status** filter to **Archived** to list them — see [Find cards](/guides/studio/cards/find-cards). ## What an archived card page allows An archived card page The page keeps its widgets, but the editing controls are gone: **Card details** cannot be edited, and the **Properties** widget has no search, filter, **Edit order and sections** or **Add Property**. The properties themselves are still listed, so the card remains readable as documentation. The menu still offers **Copy card** and **Delete card**. ## Restore a card Press **Restore card** in the top right of an archived card page. The card returns to use and can be selected again in segments and destinations.
