FAQ
Will archiving delete the workstation’s data?
No. Archiving only hides the workstation from your active list—it doesn’t remove its history.
Can I unarchive a workstation?
Yes. Contact Lovingly Support, and we can restore it quickly.
Will archived workstations still appear in past records?
Yes. All historical transactions and records remain visible.
Workstation Archiving makes it easy to focus on the devices you actually use today, while keeping complete historical records for reference.
