Frequently asked questions
What happens to invoices and transactions?▾
They stay valid. The address is stored as a snapshot inside the invoice — your bookkeeping is not affected by archiving.
Can I restore an archived contact?▾
Yes. Switch the filter to "Only archived" or "Including archived", open the contact and click "Restore".
When are contacts deleted permanently?▾
Currently never automatically. Permanent deletion only happens upon explicit GDPR request (requires "contacts.gdpr") and replaces linked documents with anonymised snapshots.
