Archiving
How to archive your novel, codex entries, chats, and snippets
If you want to keep your projects/codex entries etc, but do not wish to see them in your Novelcrafter interface, then you will want to use our new archiving feature.
Archiving Novels
To archive your novel:
- Open your novel
- Go to the novel settings via the cog icon in the top left of the interface
- In the meta data, go to the ‘danger zone’
- Select ‘archive novel’.
To restore your novel
Go to the homepage
On the search/filter, select ‘is archived’
Find the novel you wish to store and enter it
Go to the novel settings via the cog icon in the top left of the interface
In the meta data, go to the ‘danger zone’
Select ‘restore novel’.
Archiving Codex Entries
To archive a codex entry:
Open your codex entry
Open the actions menu (three dots)
Select ‘archive entry’
Your codex entry will immediately be archived, so you will see it ‘disappear’ from the interface.
To restore a codex entry:
In the codex, go to the filters tab next to the search bar
Select ‘is archived’
Open your codex entry
Open the actions menu (three dots)
Select ‘restore entry’
Archiving Snippets/Chats
Akin to codex entries, you can archive snippets and chats from the side bar.
Select your snippet/chat
Go to the actions menu (three dots)
Select ‘archive thread/snippet’.
This can also be done from the chat interface, where the actions menu can be found in the top right of the interface.
To restore a snippet/chat:
In the snippets/chats sidebar, go to the filters tab next to the search bar
Select ‘is archived’
Open your snippet/chat entry
Open the actions menu (three dots)
Select ‘restore thread/snippet’
