== Campaign Archives ==

=== Introduction ===
The '''Campaign Archive''' feature in ActiveCampaign is designed to enable users to create a public page that contains links to past direct campaigns sent to their list. Each list within your ActiveCampaign account has its own campaign archive, making it easier for your audience to revisit previous communications. This feature is essential for maintaining transparency and encouraging engagement with your email marketing history.

By sharing the link to your Campaign Archive page, you can enhance your audience's interaction with your content. It's important to note that this feature does not include automated campaigns; only direct campaigns are archived. 

This article will guide you through the process of accessing and managing your Campaign Archive.

=== How to Access Your Campaign Archive ===
You have two methods for accessing the Campaign Archive for a specific list within your ActiveCampaign account:

==== Option 1: From the Campaigns Page ====
1. Click '''Campaigns''' on the left menu.
2. Expand the '''Campaigns''' menu on the left, then select '''Archive.'''
3. In the '''list dropdown field''', choose the desired list. This dropdown is located at the top of the '''View Archive''' page.

==== Option 2: From the Contacts Page ====
1. Click '''Contacts''' on the left menu.
2. Expand the '''Contacts''' menu on the left, then click '''Lists.'''
3. Locate the list you want to work with, and click the down caret next to the '''Import Contacts''' button.
4. From the options listed, click '''Advanced Settings.'''
5. A modal window will appear; click the '''Public Pages''' tab.

Once you have accessed the '''View Archive''' page, you will see the selected list's name, the link to your public campaign archive page, a preview of the Campaign Archive page, and options to format your page. 

To share your public Campaign Archive page, simply copy and share the link with your audience.

4. Copy the link provided for the public Campaign Archive page, which can then be shared via emails, landing pages, and on your website.

When a contact clicks on the Campaign Archive link, they will be redirected to your page, where they can view all archived campaigns, click on links, and share campaigns across social platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
