How do I archive a Playlist, and what is it for?

Archiving a playlist allows you to temporarily hide it from the main list without deleting it.

This is useful when you want to pause a campaign, keep your dashboard organized, or save old playlists without losing access to them.

Archive a playlist

1. Open the playlist you want to archive.
2. Click the three-dot menu (⋮) in the top-right corner.
3. Select "Archive playlist" at the bottom of the settings panel.
4. Toggle the switch to enable archiving. The playlist will disappear from the active list.

You can always retrieve it later via the filter in the Playlist section.

How to view archived playlists

1. Go to the Playlist section from the left-hand menu.
2. In the top-right area, locate the "State" filter.
3. Select "Archived" from the dropdown.
4. All archived playlists will now be displayed.

You can unarchive a playlist anytime by opening it and disabling the archive toggle in the settings panel.
