# Viewing and Restoring Archived Designations and Campaigns

> How to find designations and campaigns you have archived in Dashboard v2 using the View filter, and how to restore them individually or in bulk. Covers where the Designations and Campaigns lists live, the All, Active and Archived options, the Restore action, and the permission needed to see it.

## Overview

Archiving a designation or a campaign takes it out of your everyday lists, but it does not delete it. The record and its history are kept, and you can bring it back at any time. This guide shows how to find archived designations and campaigns and how to restore them.

## Where to find the lists

* **Designations:** go to **Settings → Designations**.
* **Campaigns:** go to **Campaigns** and open the **All Campaigns** list.

Both lists hide archived records by default, so an archived designation or campaign will not show up until you change the view.

## Show archived records

1. Open the Designations or Campaigns list.
2. Click the **filter** icon on the table.
3. Search for **View** and choose it.
4. Pick one of the three options:
   * **All** shows active and archived records together.
   * **Active** shows only records that are not archived.
   * **Archived** shows only archived records.

Choose **Archived** to see just the records you have archived.

## Restore one or more records

1. With the **View** filter set to **Archived**, tick the checkbox next to each record you want to bring back.
2. Click **Restore** in the bar that appears above the table. You can also right-click a single row and choose **Restore**.
3. Confirm in the dialog. The dialog includes a toggle for triggering engagements; leave it as it is unless you have a reason to change it.

Once restored, the record returns to your Active list.

**Note:** **Restore** is only offered while the **View** filter is set to **Archived**. If you do not see it, check the filter first. The **Archive** action is hidden in that same view, since the records are already archived.

## Restore a designation from its own page

Open the archived designation from the list. In the actions menu on the designation page, **Restore** appears in place of **Archive**.

## If you can't see the Restore option

Archive and Restore depend on your role. To restore designations you need delete access for Designations, and to restore campaigns you need delete access for Campaigns. If the option is missing even with the **Archived** view selected, ask an administrator to check your role.
