# Archiving Letter Templates

## I have templates that I no longer use. How can I hide them away or archive them?

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:**  Archiving a template will also archive it for all users who have access to it. You can unarchive it later if needed.\
\
Letters previously issued from archived template will still be visible by the letter recipients, and will remain available in your dashboard. 
{% endhint %}

1. Navigate to the "Template Library" section.
