Archiving
To remove products that you no longer wish to display, you can Archive them to remove them from your Catalog. As you cannot delete products that have been purchased, this will allow you to "clean up" your Catalog to avoid confusion and difficulty searching it as an Admin.
To Archive a Product:
-
Use Catalog > Browse to navigate to the category that the Product/Class is located as shown below.
-
Click the Archive button which is a Blue A. It's that simple! The Product/Class is archived.
-
When you archive a product, it automatically locks so it will not be visible to the public.
-
In the example below, I will archive the World History and Physics classes by clicking the Archive button.
To View your Archive Product:
-
Click Catalog > Browse Archived. You will see a screen similar to the one shown below. Note the World History and Physics classes are on the list.
Once you are on this page, you can sort or search for one class by using on the filters by using the Product Name or Sku.
To Unarchive a Product:
-
Click Catalog > Browse Archived.
-
Locate the Class/Product on this page, by using one of the filters.
-
Click the Unarchive button.
-
That will send the Class/Product to the Orphaned Items page (Catalog > Orphaned Items).
-
You can reassign the product to a category in the Orphaned Items section by opening the product and choosing Categories from the left side menu, then selecting the category/categories you want the product to appear within.
