View archived notifications

What is this?

In the Archive you find all notifications you have personally archived from your overview. The archive is your private collection of completed or older notifications — fully searchable and accessible at any time. Other members cannot see what is in your archive.

In the archive everything is preserved:

• Full text of the notification
• All comments and reactions
• Attachments to download
• Poll results as documentation
• Author, date and "edited" hints

How to open the archive

1. Open the Notifications area in the main menu.
2. Click "Archive" — usually via a button at the top right or in the filter.
3. Browse the list of archived notifications — newest first.
4. Tap or click an entry to read the notification in full.
5. Bring a notification back by choosing "Restore" in the three-dot menu — it then reappears in your active overview.

When the archive is useful

Typical use cases:

• Look up old program info — for example to prepare a follow-up concert
• Check past poll results — who voted for what back then
• Find attachments again — old score scans, posters, directions
• Trace the discussion of earlier decisions
• Records for the association''s history — for example for the year-end review

What you can search by

In the archive, search works the same as in the main overview:

• Keyword in the title — fastest hit
• Keyword in the text — also searches older notifications
• Author name — all notifications by a specific person
• Time range — for example "last 12 months" or "2024"

In the global search of the Notifications area you can enable the filter to also search the archive.

Permission

You need the notifications.view permission to open your archive. It is assigned by default to all active members. The archive itself is always private — you only see what you have archived yourself.

Tips

• Look in the archive regularly when you need a particular old piece of info — search is usually faster than scrolling.
• Restore important old notifications before a follow-up date — for example the rehearsal info for a concert piece you take up again.
• Use the archive as a personal collection — you do not have to export anything by hand.
• The archive is not a backup: if an authorized member deletes the original notification, it disappears from your archive too.
