You can archive a journey map two ways: from the three-dot menu next to the title inside the map's editor, or from the three-dot menu on the map's row in the journey maps list. Both open the same confirmation modal.

Confirm

In the Archive journey map modal, click Yes, move to archive.

Where archived journey maps live

Archived journey maps move to the workspace Archive section in the sidebar, between Templates and Settings.

Workspace sidebar > Archive

The Archive section organises content by type. Category buttons at the top let you switch between Journey maps, Hierarchies, Personas, and Templates. Journey maps is selected by default.

The list shows the same columns as the active journey maps list: NAME, PERFORMANCE, VIEWED, CREATOR, and TAGS.

Archive > Journey maps, populated

With no archived maps yet, you'll see No archived journey maps above the message "Archived journey maps will appear here for future reference."

On the Free plan you can create up to 10 journey maps, and archived maps still count toward that limit. Archiving won't free up a slot. To make room, delete maps from the Archive (see Archive vs Delete below).

How to restore an archived journey map

Restoring is a one-click action with no confirmation modal.

1

Open the Archive section

In the workspace sidebar, click Archive. Journey maps is selected by default.

2

Unarchive the map

On the row for the map you want to bring back, click the three-dot menu and select Unarchive.

Archive > row menu

The map disappears from the Archive list and returns to the workspace Journey maps list in its previous place.

Archive vs Delete

The same row menu has a Delete option below Unarchive. Archiving is reversible. Deleting permanently removes the map and cannot be undone. As a safeguard, a journey map has to be archived before you can delete it. The same archive-first rule applies to templates. Personas can be deleted directly.
