The house that was perfect for a pilot in March is clutter by June. Archiving takes it out of your day to day views and keeps everything about it: photos, tags, contact details, notes, and its history in past projects.
Archive a location
Open the location and choose Archive Location from its menu. It disappears from your Locations views and from search, and it stops appearing in the picker when you add options to a project.
What stays put:
- Every photo and every tag.
- The owner and contact information.
- Comments and references.
- Its place in projects you have already delivered, so an old project view still makes sense.
Restore it
Filter your Locations view to archived records, open the one you want, and choose Restore Location. It comes back as it was, photos included, so a location you archived two seasons ago is ready to send out again without rebuilding it.
Archiving against your location count
Archived locations still count toward your plan's location limit. Archiving keeps your working library clean; it is not extra storage. So if you are at your limit and need room for a new production, the options are a bigger plan or deleting the records you genuinely never want back.
Archive or delete
Deleting is permanent and takes the photos with it. Use it for duplicates, test records, and the listing you saved twice by accident.
Archive is the right call for anything you scouted properly. A location you rejected for a car commercial because the driveway was too short is still the right house for a family drama, and the notes explaining why you rejected it are worth more than the disk space they use.
Whole projects
Projects can be archived too, from the project menu. That keeps the project and its options intact while removing it from your active project list. See Creating and Managing Projects.
