How to archive and unarchive a case

Written by Skyler Lambert

Archiving requires Admin access. If you can't perform these steps, ask your account administrator to do it for you.

Archiving removes a case from your active list without deleting it — an archived case stays viewable and can be restored later.

Archive a case

On the case screen, click the pencil (Edit case) icon next to the case name to open the Edit Case window, then click Archive Case at the bottom.

Archive Case confirmation

Click Yes to confirm. As the dialog notes, once a case is archived it can only be reached again by restoring it from Account Settings, a restore can take up to 24 hours, and it can be done once per month without incurring additional charges.

Restore an archived case

Open Account Settings → Organization → Cases, then click the Archived tab to list your archived cases (or use the search box).

The Cases list, filtered to the Archived tab

Open the case you want to bring back and click Restore Case. Restoring can take up to 24 hours to complete.
