# Archive a Message

Archiving removes a message from all views in Messages Overview except for the Archive view. Archived messages do not show up in search.

In [Messages Overview](https://www.airship.com/docs/reference/glossary/#messages_overview), immediately after archiving or un-archiving, you will see *Cancel Archiving* or *Cancel Un-archiving*. Click to stop the action.
