Overview

• This article outlines how to archive, restore, and remove orders from Starshipit.
• Archive and Remove have two distinct functions.
  • Archiving is great if you have already printed an order but don't want to send it anymore, or if you have an unshipped order which doesn't need to be sent yet but want to keep it in Starshipit. You can keep the order(s) in the archived tab until they are ready to go.
  • Removing an order is used when you want to re-import it at a later date from your eCommerce platform.
• All the history of an order is recorded, so at the bottom of an order, you can see if it was archived, redone, etc. along with a timestamp.

How archiving works

• Archiving orders keep the orders in the Archived tab so they can still be accessed in Starshipit, but actions like reprint or manifest cannot be performed on them.
• If you want to perform actions on archived orders, they need to be restored first.
• Within the Archived tab, there are two sub-tabs: unshipped and shipped (any orders that had labels printed). 
• You cannot remove printed and shipped orders from Starshipit however you can archive them.
• If you have previously archived an order, you can choose to restore it or completely remove it from Starshipit via the Archived tab.

How removing works

• If an order is unshipped, you can remove the order from Starshipit entirely.
• Orders removed from Starshipit can be re-imported from your eCommerce store later.
