# Archiving Events

To keep your account organized and ensure the HALO app performs optimally, we recommend archiving events you are no longer actively using.

Archiving events reduces the amount of data your app needs to sync, leading to faster performance and less confusion for your team on-site.

{% hint style="info" %}

## Presets & Galleries Archive Together

A preset and its paired gallery are archived as a set. Because of this, it doesn't matter whether you start from the preset or the gallery — archiving either one archives the whole set.

* Archiving a **preset** also archives the gallery it's paired with.
* Archiving a **gallery** also archives every preset connected to it.
  {% endhint %}

***

### Archiving vs. Deleting

* **Archiving**: Hides the event from your active event list and the HALO app. This is reversible and keeps your data safe.
* **Deleting**: Permanently removes the event and its data. This cannot be undone.

If you want to permanently remove an event, see [**Deleting Presets**](/account-management/event-settings-management/deleting-events/deleting-presets.md) or [**Deleting Galleries**](/account-management/event-settings-management/deleting-events/deleting-galleries.md).

### How to Archive

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.simplebooth.com/account-management/event-settings-management/archiving-events.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
