What happens to a list when it is archived?

When a list is archived, it is effectively removed from active use, which means that it cannot be utilized for sending list emails. Archiving a list is a way to manage data without deleting it; the list remains intact but is set aside to avoid using it for future email campaigns. This is particularly useful for organizing your active lists and ensuring that you are only working with current and relevant data. The archived status indicates that, while the list exists within the system, it is not in circulation for operational purposes, which includes list emails.

The other options do not adequately reflect the consequences of archiving a list. New prospects cannot be added to an archived list, automations tied to that list will cease to function, and the prospects themselves are not deleted when the list is archived; they simply remain part of the archived list data.
