Archiving a File

Updated 15 July 2026 1 min read

Archiving a file hides the file without affecting any items that already reference it. It's a good way to keep your workspace tidy while preserving work for future reference.

Archiving from the media hierarchy

  1. Open the Media Hierarchy: Select Media in the project navigation.
  2. Right-click a file to open the options, or on mobile click the menu button .
  3. Click "Archive" from the menu.
  4. In the dialogue, click the "Archive" button to confirm that you wish to archive the file.

What happens to archived files?

Nothing is deleted. The file remains exactly as it was. Archived files are placed into the recycle bin, and the file can only be accessed if restored.

Good to know

Archived files still count towards your plan usage. See Understanding Plans and Usage Limits.
