How do I archive or delete a contact?

Archiving takes someone out of your lists without losing their history. It's the usual way to tidy Network.

Archive oneCopy Anchor Link

1. Open the contact or organization.
2. Open Settings at the bottom and click Archive contact or Archive organization.
3. A toast offers Undo.

Or right-click the row in Network and choose Archive contact or Archive organization.

Archive severalCopy Anchor Link

1. Tick the checkboxes beside the rows, or Select all.
2. Click Archive in the bar that appears.

The same bar has Add to pipeline, which puts everyone ticked on an Outreach pipeline. See adding several at once.

See and restore archived recordsCopy Anchor Link

1. Open Network options (···) and turn on Show archived.
2. Archived rows show an Archived badge.
3. Open one and click Restore in the banner, or select several and click Restore.

Archived contacts and organizations are hidden from pickers unless they're already linked.

Archived contacts and the Basic limitCopy Anchor Link

Basic includes 50 contacts, and the limit counts active people and leads. Archived contacts don't count, and organizations never do. Restoring a contact takes a place, the same as adding one.

If your studio has more active contacts than Basic includes, for example after a Studio plan ends, Network still lists, opens, searches and exports everyone. Adding and editing contacts wait until you archive down to the limit or upgrade. Archiving and deleting always work. See what the Basic plan includes.

Delete for goodCopy Anchor Link

Network has no delete button. To delete a contact or organization permanently, ask Ash, for example "Delete the contact Sarah Okonkwo". Ash always asks you to confirm and says how many tasks go with it ("Delete the contact Sarah Okonkwo and 2 tasks?"). This can't be undone.
