If you're managing a substantial number of products, finding and managing specific items can be a daunting task. Archiving offers a solution by allowing you to temporarily remove products from your inventory dashboard without permanently deleting them. By archiving products, you can improve overall efficiency by enabling easier navigation and improved searchability. The following guide provides steps on how to archive and unarchive products.
Important note: Orders will not be able to be created or fulfilled with archived products. Please ensure the products are removed/deactivated from your online sales channel prior to archiving them in the Spaceful platform.
