## Archive (keeps the history)

Archiving hides a habit from Today but keeps every check-in, so you can bring it back later.

- On Today, long-press the habit and tap **Archive**, or tap **Archive habit** at the bottom of the habit form.
- A toast confirms with **Undo**.
- Find archived habits in **Settings › Habits › Archived habits**, where you can **Restore** or **Delete** them.
- Archived habits don’t count toward the 4 free habits. On the free plan, restoring one needs a free slot: archive another habit first, or go Premium.

## Delete (removes the history)

Deleting removes the habit **and its whole history**. It can’t be undone.

- Swipe a card left in Cards view and tap **Delete**, or long-press the habit and tap **Delete**.
- BeHabit asks you to confirm and reminds you that archiving keeps the history.

If you might want the data later, [export it](https://behabit.app/help/export-and-import) first.

## Reorder

On Today, open the view menu and tap **Edit habits**. Drag the handle next to a habit to move it. The order is used on Today and on your widgets.
