Archived Records Archive archive, restore, delete, recovery archive.archivedRecords Review hidden items and decide whether to restore or permanently remove them. Archived records Archived Records keeps removed planning material available for restoration until you choose to delete it forever.

Overview

Archived Records lists items that have been hidden from active views. They are preserved so you can recover useful material later.

When Should I Use This?

Use it after restructuring, cutting a subplot, retiring a location, removing a character or setting aside an experimental scenario.

How To Use It

Restore items that belong back in active planning. Delete forever only when you are certain the material should be permanently removed.

Example

You might restore an archived clue after discovering it solves a payoff problem in the final act.

Writer Tip

Archive first, delete later. Drafts change their minds.

Common Mistakes

  • Using Delete Forever as cleanup before you are sure.
  • Restoring material without checking whether it still fits.
  • Forgetting archived items may contain useful earlier ideas.
