# Automatic Shipment Archiving

Safecube automatically archives shipments 30 days after they reach DELIVERED status. This feature keeps your workspace organized by separating completed deliveries from active shipments, while ensuring all historical data remains accessible.

## How It Works

### Automatic Archiving Process

When a shipment's status changes to DELIVERED, a 30-day countdown begins. After 30 days, the shipment is automatically moved to the Archive folder.

The shipment stops receiving updates and its status becomes static. The archived shipment remains accessible for consultation at any time.

### Key Characteristics

**Archived Shipments:**

✅Are fully viewable with complete historical data

✅No longer receive tracking updates or status changes

❌Cannot be unarchived or restored to active status

### Accessing Archived Shipments

**Viewing Your Archive**

Navigate to your Safecube shipments dashboard, locate and click on the "Archive" tab.

Browse or search for the shipment you need. Click on any shipment to view its complete data and history.

<br />

Key shipment data such as departure and arrival dates remain fully accessible in the archive.

### Use Cases

**When Archive Access is Useful**

* Audit and compliance: Review historical shipment data for reporting purposes
* Customer inquiries: Reference past deliveries when responding to customer questions
* Performance analysis: Analyze delivery patterns and performance over time
* Dispute resolution: Access complete shipment history for claims or disputes

### Important Considerations

### Making Updates to Archived Shipments

Archived shipments cannot be modified or unarchived. If you need to update information or continue tracking:
Create a new shipment with the updated information.

  Note: Adding a new shipment will consume one credit from your account
  Consider whether the update is necessary before proceeding

**Best Practices**
Review shipments before archiving: Check important shipments approaching the 30-day threshold if you anticipate needing updates

**Export critical data**: Use export features for shipments requiring long-term reference outside the platform
