Archive
Why archived mentions exist, how they leave the active feed, and how to review or restore them from Archive.
Archive is where mentions go when they are no longer part of your active stream. That keeps the Feed focused on what you still want to triage, while preserving a record you can audit or bring back.
Archived mentions are still your organization’s data: same cards, listener context, and AI summary as before—they are just filtered out of the default feed until you restore them or leave them archived.
Why Archive exists
- Declutter the feed — Hide noise without losing history (accidental matches, one-off spam, or posts you are done with).
- Stay honest when listeners change — When you tighten a listener (new exclusions, stricter subreddits, removed keywords, and so on), SnitchFeed can archive existing mentions that no longer fit the rules so the past does not contradict the listener you configured today.
- Train the product — A negative signal on AI feedback (Show less like this) archives the mention and helps steer future scoring.
Archive is not the same as Bookmarks: bookmarks are an optional “keep” layer; archive means “out of the active workflow” for that mention.
Using Archive in the app
- Open Archive from the app sidebar.
- Use filters as needed (platform, dates, listeners, and so on) to find rows.
- On the Archive page, Recent / All toggles whether you only see mentions archived in roughly the last 30 minutes—useful right after you change listener rules or bulk-archive.
- Each archived card can show an Archive badge with a Reason summary. Hover the badge for the full explanation; when a listener rule change caused the archive, you may also see the specific keywords, authors, or subreddits involved.
- To restore a mention to the active stream, use Restore on the card (archive icon with restore). Restored mentions show up again on the Feed and listener views according to your current listener rules.
How mentions enter Archive
| What you see (reason label) | What happened |
|---|---|
| Archived | You pressed Archive on a mention card, or Show less like this (thumbs down) on the AI feedback controls. SnitchFeed does not always store a separate structured reason for these—they still appear in Archive with a generic Archived label. |
| Deleted keyword(s) | You removed a phrase from the listener’s included keywords list, or a background job archived mentions that no longer match any included keyword for that listener (same stored reason). Affected rows are archived so the feed matches the listener you have configured. |
| Excluded keyword(s) | You added a new excluded keyword on the listener. Mentions whose text already matched that word are archived. |
| Excluded author(s) | You added an author to the listener’s excluded authors list. Mentions from those authors (for that listener) are archived. |
| Only from authors | You configured the listener to only include posts from specific authors. Mentions from anyone not on that allow list are archived. |
| Excluded subreddit(s) | (Reddit) You excluded one or more subreddits on the listener. Mentions already in those communities are archived. |
| Only from subreddits | (Reddit) You limited the listener to only certain subreddits. Mentions from other subreddits are archived. |
Other short labels (for example Listener deleted or Downvoted) can appear on individual rows when that reason was stored for your workspace; hover the Reason badge for the full text.
