# Archive Application

`POST /applications/{application_id}/archive`

Soft-delete an application.

Archiving sets `deleted_at` on the application and hides it from
queries that don't set `include_archived: true`. Its variants and
revisions become unreachable from listing but their IDs remain
resolvable so historical traces stay intact.
See [Versioning](/reference/api-guide/versioning#archive-and-unarchive).
