Archive, reactivate, and delete a trip

When a trip is over (or shelved), archive it: it leaves the Home screen for the whole crew, but nothing is lost. Archived trips live in Settings → Archived Trips, where organizers can bring them back or delete them permanently.

Archive a trip

Archiving is for the trip owner and crew with edit permission. organizer

1. 1
   Open the trip and tap the gear in the top-right corner.
2. 2
   Tap Archive.
3. 3
   Confirm, and the alert reminds you this also archives all the trip's activities.
4. 4
   You're returned to Home, and the trip is gone from everyone's trip list.

What archiving means:

• Plans are archived along with the trip.
• Ballots disappear from everyone's Decisions inbox while the trip is archived. Deadlines keep counting down, though; a ballot whose deadline passes resolves with the votes already cast.
• Its Trip Pass is untouched. Archiving is reversible, so a locked-in trip keeps its pass; nothing is spent and nothing is refunded. Reactivate it and the trip is back exactly as it was. (See Trip Passes.)
• The archive shows in the trip log, and the crew can be notified depending on their settings.

The Archived Trips screen

Settings → Archived Trips lists every archived trip you're on (cover photo, name, destination, and when it was archived) with a count in the header. Pull down to refresh. Anyone can view the list; the buttons are organizer-only. member

Archiving and permanent deletion work offline. The trip moves into Archived Trips immediately, where an organizer can still use the red trash button; both changes wait safely in the sync queue until the connection returns. Reactivate needs a connection and appears again when you're online. organizer

Reactivate a trip

Reactivating is organizer-only: non-organizers see an "Organizers only" hint instead of buttons, and the server blocks the change for them too. organizer

1. 1
   Go to Settings → Archived Trips.
2. 2
   Tap Reactivate on the trip.
3. 3
   Confirm, and the trip and all its plans move back to the trips list for everyone on the trip.

Delete a trip permanently

Deletion lives on the same screen, behind the red trash button, also organizer-only. organizer

Tap the trash icon and confirm: the trip and all its plans are deleted for everyone on the trip, and this cannot be undone. There is no recovery; if you're not sure, leave the trip archived instead; it costs nothing to keep.

Deleting a locked-in trip and its Trip Pass

Deleting behaves differently from archiving where a Trip Pass is concerned, because delete is permanent:

• A trip you never confirmed costs nothing to delete. Planning is always free, so if the owner never chose Confirm trip from the gear, no pass was spent; there's nothing to refund and nothing to lose.
• Delete within an hour of locking in and the pass comes back. Locked a trip in and immediately changed your mind? If an organizer deletes it within an hour, the spent pass returns to the trip owner's balance automatically; an accidental lock-in never costs you.
• After that hour, the pass stays spent. Once the grace window passes, the pass has done its job; deleting the trip (or deleting and recreating it) won't win it back.
• On a Planner Pass, there's nothing to refund. Lock-ins covered by the Planner Pass subscription never touch a pass balance in the first place, so deleting one of those trips doesn't move any numbers.
