# Archive an activity

## Learn how to archive an activity you no longer offer, bring it back later, and how archiving differs from dormant.

Archiving keeps your activity list tidy. It moves activities you no longer offer out of the way, without deleting them, so their booking history stays in your reports and you can bring them back at any time.

**Archive an activity**

You can archive an activity once it has no upcoming times on sale. To archive one, go to Products -\> Activities.

1. Open the Dormant tab
2. Find the activity
3. Select 'Archive'

The activity moves to the Archived tab straight away. If you archive the wrong activity, you can unarchive it from there.

If the activity is still in your Live tab, it has times customers can book. Let those times pass, or remove any unbooked times from your calendar, and it will move to Dormant, ready to archive.

**Bring an archived activity back**

1. Go to Products -\> Activities and open the Archived tab
2. Find the activity and select 'Unarchive'
3. Add new times to your calendar so customers can book it again

**Archived vs dormant**

- **Dormant:** an activity with no upcoming bookable times. eola sets this automatically, and it goes back to Live as soon as you add new times
- **Archived:** an activity you've chosen to put away, for example because you no longer run it

**Good to know**

- Archiving doesn't delete anything. Past bookings and sales for the activity stay in your reports
- Archived activities are hidden from your widget and the eola Marketplace, so customers can't book them
- Activities in the Not live tab haven't been fully set up yet, so they can't be archived from there

**Helpful tips:**

- Leave seasonal activities dormant over the winter rather than archiving them, so they're quick to bring back
- Archive old versions of activities, such as ones with a year in the name, and keep one activity with a timeless name instead. It keeps your booking history together year on year
