Archiving characters
Archive a character to take it out of your working lists without deleting it. Cut roles, duplicates and wrapped cast all belong in the archive rather than gone for good, so their changes and wear notes stay on record.
Archiving a character
- Open your Principals or Crowd list and turn on Edit Mode.
- Tick one or more characters.
- Open the batch actions menu and choose Archive. Selecting several at once lets you archive in bulk.
- On the Principals or Crowd tab, swipe a character row to reveal its actions.
- Tap Archive, then confirm Archive in the prompt.
Archiving removes the character for every department. The same prompt offers Hide instead, which keeps the character but hides it only from your own department.
Finding archived characters
Archived characters are hidden from the list by default. To see them, add the Archived pill to the search bar. The list then shows the archived characters so you can review or restore them.
Bringing one back
Add the Archived pill, turn on Edit Mode, tick the characters and choose Unarchive from the batch actions menu.
Add the Archived pill to the search, swipe the character row and tap Unarchive.
Archiving is reversible and keeps the character's history intact. If a character only needs to drop out for one department, use Hide on mobile or the visibility settings on the character instead of archiving.
