Remove items

There are 3 ways to remove an item:

• Delete – Deleting completely removes the item from the database and should only be done if the item was added erroneously or is a duplicate.
• Archive – Archiving is a essentially a soft delete, that removes the item from the site, but does not delete it from the database. Products that are archived can quickly be restored.
• Deactivate – Deactivating, similar to archiving, is a temporary method; however, it is tied to a specific date. This can be useful if the product is a promotional item that is only available for a limited time.

Because the process is slightly different for working with singular items versus multiple items, both processes are described below.
