If I delete an item does it delete it permently or archive the item?

If I am trying to clean up and clear out my inventory...does deleting an item remove it completely and permanently or archive it?

Hi all 👋,

I'd like to extend my gratitude to everyone who contributed their vote for the option to archive items in our Item Library. For those who may have missed the update, I'm pleased to announce that Square now offers the capability to archive items directly from both the online Square Dashboard. Thank you for your input and support in making this enhancement possible!

Archived items will still appear in your inventory reports. When you archive items, you will not be able to manage actions such as tracking, adjusting stock, editing variations, or managing stock until you unarchive the item.

You can learn more about this process by visiting our online guide here.

Hey @KimBooks - 

I would recommend heading over to the Ideate Board to see all of the Feature Requests other sellers have been submitting. There you can add your vote, comment, or provide a workaround - if you have found one. 

Thank you for utilizing your voice in the Community!

Thank You!

The feature / option to Archive items no longer in use (rather than deleting) is now available - YAY!

Thank you @Laurie_  for the update. When you say for those who may have missed the update, where would we have seen this if we weren't already a part of this thread? Did an email go out or is there an update page where we can track these things?
