Archiving and Restoring Songs and Arrangements

If you have Songs or Arrangements that you've used in the past but no longer plan to use, you can archive them.

Notice

Do not delete songs or arrangements unless you are sure that you will not want to use them again.

Who can archive, restore, and delete?

People with the following permissions can archive, restore, or delete profiles:

• Administrators can archive, restore, or delete any profile.

• Schedulers and Editors can archive, restore, or remove profiles they created.

• Folder and Service Type Administrators can only archive people whose highest permission is Viewer or Scheduled Viewer, but they can restore anyone.

If you want all Administrators to be able to delete anyone and not just those they have created, an Organization Administrator can change the setting.

Before archiving songs, you can create a filtered list with the songs that you want to archive, then archive them in bulk.

For example, you can create a filtered list of Christmas songs, and in the Fall when you're beginning to plan your Christmas services, you can find and restore those songs by filtering the Songs tab for archived songs with the tag.

You can archive or restore a single song or several songs at a time.
