# Bulk archive

> Archive multiple clients at once from your workspace.

Archiving several clients at once is the fastest way to clean up after offboarding — or to clear out test clients you no longer need. Archiving is a soft-delete: clients aren't permanently removed.

<Warning>
  Archived clients move to **Settings → Archive** along with their projects, pages, widgets, and data-source connections. You can restore them from the Archive at any time. Permanent deletion only happens when you explicitly delete an item from the Archive — and that is unrecoverable.
</Warning>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the client list">
    Go to your home dashboard.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select clients">
    Click the checkbox that appears when you hover a client card, or **Ctrl/Cmd**-click cards to toggle them. Select every client you want to archive.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Archive">
    With clients selected, click **Archive** in the action bar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm">
    In the **Archive Clients** dialog, review the count and click **Archive**. The selected clients move to the Archive.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Restore archived clients

Go to **Settings → [Archive](/archive/view)**, select the clients you just archived, and click **Restore**. Their projects and data connections come back intact.
