# Archiving

> Archiving work is a great way to keep a workspace clean and focused without losing historical data.

export const Image = ({src, alt, caption}) => <figure>
    <img src={`https://cdn.vistaly.com/kb${src}`} {...alt ? {
  alt
} : {}} />
    {caption && <figcaption class="image-caption">{caption}</figcaption>}
  </figure>;

### Archiving paths

To archive a path, select **Archive card** in the card sub-menu.

### Viewing archived paths

Once a path is archived, you can view it by selecting any parent *(or ancestor)* card and selecting **Show archived cards** from the card sub-menu.

Edits to an archived card are not possible until the card is unarchived.

### Unarchiving paths

To unarchive a path, select the topmost **(root)** archived card, then select **Unarchive card** from the card sub-menu.
