# How to archive templates

How to archive, manage, and restore templates without deleting them.

Archiving a template removes it from the active list while keeping it fully editable and still usable in sequences where it has already been applied.

## How archiving impacts templates

-   The template is moved to the Archived section
    
-   It remains editable and changes are saved normally
    
-   Sequences already using an archived template continue to use it without interruption
    
-   The template is not deleted and can be restored at any time
    

## How to archive a template

1.  Go to **Templates**
    
2.  Click the **3 dots** on the specific template
    
3.  Select **Archive**

## When to archive

Use archiving when a template is no longer needed in your active list but you may need to reuse, update, or reference it later.
