Hi, We’re just switched to Shopify POS from Lightspeed Onsite POS and are getting used to all the back end changes that requires. One of the things that’s different is product management and we’re happy to have the new ‘Archived’ status. Since we’ve switched we’ve started to use the Archived status…

I 100% Agree. We have 10K products and we almost NEVER want to see archived product in our lists. Please make this a default option, Shopify!

Oh yes, please. I came here looking for exactly this feature. Shopify, please make this happen.

Yes we would like this feature too!

I’m glad to hear that I’m not the only one who wants Archived products to be hidden by default. Thank you everyone for confirming that my expectations are pretty normal. I also realized that Shopify has hidden the search field in the Products admin (and added clicks to our work flow) but they still…

I feel your pain. If only it were possible for Shopify to ‘remember’ the settings we like. It’s not impossible, just not something that the dev’s see a need for. I’ve worked closely with a couple of EPOS providers over the past decade and I always say to them “if you want to know if your software…

Yes, that is one way, of many. However, that is an additional step every time you run a filter or search. Simply NEVER showing items that I don’t want to see (because I’ve archived them) would be a much better scenario

Agreed - I also find it annoying to set the view/search criteria and then have to set it again after I look at a product and use the back link on the product view…

Adding to this—please fix the archived product feature! Archived products should not show under inventory tab This is such a huge gripe and makes it harder to manage inventory.

PLEASE make this happen @Shopify_77 !!! All of us shop owners are so tired of seeing our archived products show up on our admin page! This has been requested over & over for so long now, and we shouldn’t have to click extra buttons just to hide them, when we’re working on our active/draft products!

Is this addressed by excluding products with 0 inventory in collections?
