As your community evolves, certain automation or bulk action workflows may no longer serve their purpose. Archiving workflows allows you to maintain a clean, manageable list of active workflows while retaining access to archived workflows for review or duplication later.

## Key things to know before archiving workflows

- Once a workflow is archived, it **cannot be unarchived**. However, if you need to use the same workflow later, you can [duplicate](https://help.circle.so/p/workflows/workflow-management/duplicating-a-workflow) it from the **Archived** tab on the **Workflows** page.

- Archiving a workflow **cancels all future actions** , including any in-progress runs. If a workflow is actively running for a member, it will stop as soon as the workflow is archived. 

## Archive a workflow

1. Click  **Workflows**  in the left sidebar, then select  **Workflows**.

2. Navigate to the relevant tab and locate the workflow.

3. Hover over the workflow, click **More actions (three dots)**, and select  **Archive**.

4. Click  **Deactivate and Archive**  in the confirmation dialog.  

Once you confirm, the workflow will be moved to the **Archived** tab on the workflows page.
