What is the difference between archive and delete?
Answer:
If you want to remove a listing from Idealist, you have two options: archive or delete. Archived listings do not appear published on Idealist but remain in your account for future reference or to be used as a template for new listings. Deleted listings are eliminated permanently from your account and our database.
