Archiving

Stopped environments are archived after the inactive period for your plan. Archived environments move to a separate view and can be unarchived or deleted. You receive an email when environments are archived.

Viewing archived environments

Managing archived environments

Hover over an archived environment to reveal actions:
  • Unarchive - click the restore icon. The environment returns to your main list.
  • Delete - click the trash icon and confirm in the dialog.
Deleting an environment permanently removes all content. This cannot be undone.
