# Archieve Chat

To access the **Archived Chat List** screen, click the designated menu button in the **chat management menu**.

* New tags can be added to archived conversations, but the **resolution reason cannot be changed**.
* If a conversation is archived **before the 24-hour messaging window has expired**, it can be moved back to the **Active Chat List**, and communication with the customer can continue.
* If a customer in the **Archived Chat List** sends a new message, the conversation is **automatically moved back to the Active Chat List**.

#### **a) Moving a Chat from Archived to Active**

* Conversations that were archived **within the 24-hour messaging window** can be moved back to the **Active Chat List** using the relevant button.
* This button **will not be visible** for chats that have exceeded the 24-hour window.
* To move the conversation back to active, a **template message** can also be sent to the user.
