What is archiving?

You can archive stories you are no longer reading but would like to keep track of. This will be useful in organizing your library and even reducing the amount of memory the app is using.

- There is a limit of 200 stories that can be added to the library (If you add any more stories some will be automatically added to your archive.)

- If a story is added to your archive, you will not be able to read it on the app unless you unarchive it. This includes offline reading.

- You need to be connected to the internet ( Wifi or Data) in order to unarchive a story on the app.

- If a story in your archive is updated, it will return automatically to your library once you are connected.

Below are instructions for how to add stories to your archive and remove them.
