Archiving vs. Deleting

There are two ways to remove albums or photos from the public gallery.

• Archive (eye-slash icon) — Hides the album or photo from visitors, but keeps it in the database and storage. Useful for temporarily removing content you may want to restore later.
• Delete (trash icon) — Permanently removes the album or photo from the database and storage. This cannot be undone.

To archive an album, click the eye-slash icon on the album card. To archive a photo, open the album and click the eye-slash icon on the thumbnail.
