Navigation:  Managing a Site > Applications > Configurations > Archiving a Configuration

 

Overview

 

Configurations that were created at site level can be archived within the sites they were created in. Configurations created at account level can ONLY be archived at account level unless they have been restricted to a site - the targeted site will also be able to archive that configuration.

Operationally speaking, archiving allows you to clear old configurations and all their versions no longer in use.

This action can be performed in the "Configurations" page and in the details page of the configuration you want to archive.
