Can I restore archived articles?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes. Open Saved > Archive, point at the article and click Restore to Read later, or select it and press E: it goes back to Read later with its reading progress, and "Article unarchived" offers Undo for a few seconds. Deleting from the Archive, one article with the delete icon or all of them with Clear all, cannot be undone. Restore one article Open Saved > Archive. Point at the article and click Restore to Read later, or select it and press E. The row slides out of the Archive. Find the article at the top of Saved > Read later, saved as of now. Point at a row for Restore to Read later, the tags button, the menu and the delete icon. The open article has the same button in its toolbar and Restore to Read later in its menu, and on a phone a swipe to the left offers Restore. Pressing F on an archived article saves it to Read later as well; its row stays in the Archive until the list reloads. Restore several articles at once With Pro, tick the checkbox on each article's picture, or turn on Multiple select, and click Add to Read later in the bulk bar. How do I use bulk actions? explains the bulk bar. Undo an archiving Right after you archive an article, the "Article archived" message shows Undo for six seconds and puts the article back in its place in Read later, with its old save date. After Archive all there is no Undo: restore the articles one by one or with multiple select. To find the one you want, use the Finished and Unfinished chips, the sorting in the More menu or the search box. Delete archived articles The delete icon at the right of a row asks "Delete article?" and then removes the article from the Archive, with the message "Article deleted". Clear all in the header asks "Delete 12 archived articles?" and warns that the action is irreversible before it removes every archived article. Deleting from the Archive removes only your saved copy, together with its reading progress. The article itself stays in its feed. Your saved web pages and uploads are your own articles, and those are deleted with Delete article in the article menu. Articles marked as read by mistake aren't in the Archive, and bringing them back works differently. What is the Archive? describes the list itself, and What is Read later? the list a restored article returns to. Plans and limits Restoring and deleting work on every plan. Multiple select is Pro. Both lists are part of saving articles to read when you have time.
