Archiving Episodes

When you want to remove episodes from a Smart Playlist or not show them on a podcast’s page, you can choose to archive them. Archiving will also delete the episode’s download file.

You can learn more about what archiving is and how it can be useful for you in this blog post.

• Swipe the episode row from right to left in an episode list or playlist.
• Or tap on an episode on any page, and tap Archive on the episode card. Please note: if you have Play Up Next On Tap enabled, you will need to long press an episode in Up Next to access its episode card.
• In the Now Playing screen tap Archive in the player toolbar. By default, Archive is in the toolbar’s three dot menu, but you can customize the toolbar so that Archive is one of your quick access shortcuts if you wish.

• On a podcast’s page, tap the three dot menu > tap Archive All to archive all episodes of that podcast.
• Enter multi-select mode on a podcast’s page, in a playlist, or the Downloads list(long press an episode row or tap the three dot menu > Select Episodes) > tap Archive in the multi-select action bar. By default, Archive is in the action bar’s three dot menu, but you can customize the action bar so that Archive is one of your shortcuts.
• In the Up Next screen tap Select / the Multi-Select button, select episodes manually or tap Select All > three dot menu > Archive.

To show or hide episodes you’ve archived of a particular podcast tap Show Archived / Hide Archived on that podcast’s page.

This is also available as a global setting at Profile > settings cog > General > Archived Episodes / Show Archived.

• Or tap the episode, then tap Unarchive.
• Or if all episodes of a podcast are archived, tap the vertical ellipsis and tap Unarchive All.

Archiving is a great way to keep your feed clean and managed. It can be done without changing the podcast’s play status – unplayed, in progress, or played. Archiving an episode removes it from New Releases and In Progress, and you can choose whether to show or hide archived episodes on a podcast’s page.

You can find more information on Archiving in this blog post.

• Hover over any episode in a list, you’ll see an archive icon appear. Click that to archive the individual episode.

• Tap on the three dot menu and toggle Show Archived on or off.

Please note Show Archived is a global setting. When toggled on or off this applies to all podcasts you are following.
