Archive

The Archive is where you find feature flags that are no longer active. Archiving removes a flag from evaluation while preserving its configuration for later.

Archive a flag after it is no longer used in code. For example when a feature has fully rolled out, an experiment has concluded, or you want to clean up your flags list without losing the configuration. If a feature might return, archiving lets you restore its configuration and history intact rather than rebuilding from scratch.

Vercel Flags requires you to archive flags before you can delete them. This gives you a safety net if you change your mind.

Archive flags when you're done with a feature but might want to restore it later. Delete flags only when you're certain you won't need them again.

When you archive a flag:

1. Evaluation stops: The flag is no longer served by the SDK
2. Your application falls back: It uses the default value defined in code
3. Configuration is preserved: All variants, rules, and targeting settings are saved
4. The flag moves to Archive: It no longer appears in the main flags list

export const archivedFeature = flag({
  key: 'archived-feature',
  adapter: vercelAdapter(),
  // This default is used when the flag is archived
  defaultValue: false,
});

1. Navigate to the Flags tab in your project
2. Click on the flag you want to archive
3. Open the Dot menu on the top right
4. Click the Archive button
5. Confirm the action

The flag will immediately stop being served and move to the Archive section.

1. Go to the Archive section in the Flags tab
2. Click on the flag you want to restore
3. Open the Dot menu on the top right
4. Click the Unarchive button
5. Confirm the action

The flag returns to your active flags list with all its previous configuration intact. You can then modify it or enable it as needed.

1. Go to the Archive section
2. Click on the flag you want to delete
3. Click Delete
4. Confirm the permanent deletion
