How to Archive Old Content on UniLink (Clean Up Without Deleting)

Archiving lets you hide pages, blocks, and products from visitors without losing them permanently — perfect for seasonal promotions and outdated content.

• Archived content is immediately unpublished and invisible to visitors but stays fully accessible in your dashboard.
• You can unarchive any item at any time and it returns to its previous state with all settings intact.
• Archiving is available on all plans, including free — it does not count against storage limits.

Deleting a page or product feels permanent in a way that archiving never does. If you ran a summer sale last year and want to reuse it next season, archiving preserves every block, every product listing, and every design choice so you can revive it in minutes rather than rebuilding from scratch. UniLink's archive system is designed for exactly this pattern — content you are done with for now but are not ready to lose forever.

What Archiving Does

When you archive a page, block, or product on UniLink, that item is immediately removed from public view. Visitors navigating to the archived page's URL receive a 404 response, archived blocks disappear from your live profile, and archived products are unlisted from your storefront. None of this affects any other content on your page — only the archived item is hidden.

Behind the scenes, archived items are stored in a separate section of your dashboard called the Archive. Everything about the item — its content, settings, design customizations, analytics history, and any associated media — is preserved exactly as it was when you archived it. The archive is not a trash bin. Items in the archive are not queued for deletion and will not disappear unless you explicitly delete them.

The archive is also useful as a staging area for draft content you want to deactivate quickly. If you publish a block by mistake or need to pull a promotion immediately (for example, a sold-out limited offer), archiving is faster than manually unpublishing individual settings. One click hides the item across your entire live page without touching anything else.

How to Get Started

1. Log in to your dashboard — go to app.unilink.us and navigate to the section that holds the content you want to archive: Pages for full pages, Products for store listings, or directly into your page editor for individual blocks.
2. Select the item — on the Pages or Products list, find the item you want to archive. Click the three-dot menu (⋯) on the right side of the item's row.
3. Click Archive — select Archive from the dropdown menu. A confirmation prompt appears asking you to confirm the action.
4. Confirm the archive — click Archive in the confirmation dialog. The item disappears from your active list and moves immediately to the Archive section. Your live page updates in real time.
5. Verify in the Archive — go to Settings → Archive (or look for the Archive tab inside Pages or Products) to confirm the item is there and accessible.

How to Use Archiving

1. Archive a block directly in the editor — inside the page editor, hover over any block to reveal its action menu. Click the three-dot icon and choose Archive Block. The block hides immediately without leaving the editor.
2. Archive a product listing — in the Products section, use the three-dot menu beside any listing and select Archive. This removes the product from your storefront but preserves its price, description, images, and inventory settings.
3. Archive an entire page — from the Pages list, three-dot menu → Archive. All blocks and content within that page are hidden simultaneously. Useful for seasonal landing pages.
4. Unarchive when ready — navigate to the Archive (Settings → Archive or the Archive tab), find the item, and click Unarchive. The item returns to its original location in Draft status — review it before republishing.
5. Batch archive multiple items — on the Pages or Products list, check the boxes next to multiple items and use the bulk action menu at the top to archive all selected items at once. This is the fastest way to clean up after a campaign ends.

Key Settings

Get the Most Out Of Archiving

The most powerful use of archiving is building a library of reusable campaign assets. Every time a promotion ends, archive the page rather than deleting it. Over 12 months you accumulate a reference archive of every campaign you ran — complete with all the copy, images, and block layouts that performed well. When a similar season or campaign rolls around, unarchiving last year's version gives you a ready-made starting point that is already on-brand and tested with real visitors.

For creators who publish time-limited content (event announcements, limited merchandise, collaboration drops), archiving after the window closes is better hygiene than leaving stale content live. A visitor who lands on your page six months after a sold-out product launch sees current, relevant content — not a confusing relic of a past campaign. Your page stays clean and your conversion rate on active content stays high.

Product sellers running UniLink storefronts can use archiving to manage inventory cycles. When an item sells out, archive the listing immediately rather than leaving it visible with a "sold out" badge. If the item restocks, unarchiving restores the full listing — title, description, pricing, and images — in seconds. This is especially useful for print-on-demand sellers and small batch creators who restock irregularly.

If you manage pages for multiple clients or brands under a Business account, archiving at the page level keeps your dashboard organized without permanently removing anything. Instead of a cluttered pages list mixing active and inactive campaigns, your active section stays focused while the archive holds everything from concluded projects. Client work from last quarter stays accessible for reference or reactivation without cluttering your daily view.
