# Archive Whatfix content or widgets

Archiving content and widgets helps declutter the Dashboard and makes it easier for you to find relevant and up-to-date information. Store old and unused content or widgets in a separate section called the Archived section. You can [restore content and widgets](/studio/docs/restore-copy-or-delete-archived-content-or-widgets) from the Archived section to the Draft stage. However, you can't restore content and widgets after deletion.

> [!NOTE]
> Info:
> 
> Archiving a folder archives the content or widgets within the folder and its sub-folders, but not the folders and sub-folders themselves. The Archived section does not contain any folders.

Use the following steps to archive content or widgets:

**For content:**

1. On the Whatfix Guidance dashboard, click **Content**. ![ia_left_nav_content](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/ia_left_nav_content.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-14T08%3A10%3A48Z&se=2026-10-14T09%3A10%3A48Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=Zw0nfTiXa3fwlg7ach%2BD52l89DOHVDqs%2FmgYRjLWIwk%3D)
