 ## Available Features
 
 - Native Iced desktop workspace with localized menus, tabs, anchored editor popovers, automatically paged post/media sidebars, dialogs, tasks, embedded Wry previews, and a live Pico CSS theme editor.
-- Post and translation authoring with change-aware draft/published lifecycle, in-place published-frontmatter updates, metadata, tags, categories, links, media, and batch gallery-image import.
+- Post and translation authoring with change-aware draft/published/archive lifecycle, explicit unarchive, in-place published-frontmatter updates, metadata, tags, categories, links, media, and batch gallery-image import.
 - Media import, thumbnails, metadata translations, filters, validation, post assignment, and sequential drag-and-drop insertion into post editors.
 - WordPress WXR migration with saved analyses, HTML-to-Markdown and shortcode conversion, conflict/taxonomy review, recoverable 500-item execution batches, media-parent linking, progress reporting, and optional AI-assisted taxonomy mapping.
 - Post, Liquid template, and Lua script editing with dedicated syntax highlighting and explicit syntax-check feedback, including publish-time enforcement of the bDS2 Liquid tag/filter/operator subset, using a custom Ropey/Syntect/Cosmic Text editor and the documented, bDS2-signature-compatible project-scoped [`bds` host API](docs/scripting/API_REFERENCE.md) across utilities, rendered macros, and Blogmark transforms, including airplane-gated Git sync.
