# Archive, abort, or reactivate

Manage the lifecycle of Models and Conversations

Fashionupdater keeps **archive** and **abort** as separate lifecycle states. Available actions depend on your permission level.

## Archive an item

Archiving removes a Model or Conversation from its active list without permanently deleting it.

1. Open the Models or Conversations list.
2. Enter management mode and select one or more items.
3. Choose **Archive**.
4. Review the selected items and confirm.

Find archived items under **Archived Models** or **Archived Conversations**.

## Restore an archived item

1. Open the relevant archived list.
2. Enter management mode and select the items.
3. Choose **Restore** and confirm.

An archived Model returns to **Models** or **Aborted Models** according to its underlying lifecycle state.

## Abort a Model

Use **Abort** when work on a Model has stopped but the Model must remain available as a distinct business state. In Models management mode, select the Models, choose **Abort**, and confirm.

Aborted Models appear under **Aborted Models**. This state is available only for Models, not Conversations.

## Reactivate a Model

Open **Aborted Models**, select one or more Models, choose **Reactivate**, and confirm. Reactivated Models return to the active Models list.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Archive and abort are reversible. Permanent deletion is a separate action available only from the archived list; see [Delete an archived item](/en/workspace-management/model-operations/delete-archived-item.md).
