# How to archive and unarchive a building in Plexflow

## How to archive and unarchive a building in Plexflow

Archiving a building lets you remove it from your active tracking while keeping its information in Plexflow. This is useful if the building is no longer managed (sold, closed, inactive, etc.).

## Effects of archiving (important)

When you archive a building:

- The **leases are completed** (ended).
- **PAD (pre-authorized debits)** are **removed**.
- The **units remain counted** in your Plexflow plan (they still count toward the number of units).

## Archive a building

### Step 1 - Open the building record

- Go to **Properties**.
- Open the building to access its **record**.

### Step 2 - Archive

- Click **Delete**.
- Select **Archive**.

## Unarchive a building (optional)

You can unarchive a building if you want, for example, to **see it again in your reports**.

### Step 1 — Follow the same path

1. Go to **Properties**.
2. Open the record of the archived building.

### Step 2 — Unarchive

1. Click **Delete**.
2. Select **Unarchive**.

📌 Good to know: unarchiving **does not automatically reactivate any lease**. The leases remain completed, but the building becomes visible again in your information (including reports).
