# What happens if I archive content or widgets that are linked to other content and widgets?

**Case 1:** You archived a content/widget but there is still a version in Draft, Ready, or Production.

> There are no changes to the linked content/widgets.

**Case 2:** Your Archived content/widget is the only version on the Dashboard.

> This content/widget is removed from the linked content/widgets. For example, if you archived a Flow that was in a Self Help widget, that Flow gets removed from the Self Help widget.

- When the Archived content/widget is [restored](/desktop/docs/restore-copy-or-delete-archived-content-or-widgets), its links with other content/widgets before archival are restored, provided the linked content/widgets exist.
- If a linked content/widget is in Production, restoring the Archived content/widget does not automatically restore the link between them.
