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…

Doing the above is not going magically make Shopify fix this, so in the meantime, all we have are workarounds and yes, they should be posted, to support everyone while we wait.

These are not free. We shouldn’t have to pay to make something work the way it should. We’re already paying! :persevering_face:

And writing out 20 step workarounds that other people might waste their time with instead of complaining isn’t going to make them fix it at all. If they don’t see demand for it, they won’t do ■■■■■

Learn how to count. 4 steps != 20 steps. The workarounds are bringing more value than you are right now, so until you’ve managed to convince Shopify, you can keep your thoughts to yourself and we will post workarounds if we want to. You’re free to ignore them.

It seems that we have a solution. I spotted a new button and couldn’t find any info so I asked the question. https://community.shopify.com/post/2375680 I have just created a Non Archived view in Products. It’s not perfect, however, one click is better than any other option I have seen.

That’s what the workaround I posted earlier is!

You wrote 4 steps with multiple steps within each step that works out to at least 12 steps. But whatever, my point still stands. For people with 100+ archived products, we need a proper solution that doesn’t require multiple steps to achieve this.

You realize, of course, that this would make it so a valid product that had reached 0 available would then NOT show up.
