3 Ways to Archive a Webdock Group

Last updated on 

There are three easy ways to archive a Group, so you can make room in the webdock and return to it again in the future.

1) Using Webdock Dividers

  • Dividers are small horizontal lines in the webdock.
  • Drag one of the Groups you want to archive to the bottom of the webdock.
  • Right-click in the webdock above the group and then click 'Add Divider'.
  • Name the divider 'Archive'. (This is optional; you can leave the name blank so that only the line is visible.)
  • If you want to archive other groups, drag them below the same divider. Then click on the divider to collapse it.
  • These hidden groups may still get badges and notifications, so sign out of these apps to stop them. If they are integrated accounts, you may also need to hide the attention badge:

2) Make a Copy using Templates

  • Right-click on the group you want to archive and select 'Share Group'.
  • Follow the template wizard to create a share code for that group.
  • On the wizard's last step, you will get a share link (URL) for the group. Make a note of this link, or email it to yourself.
  • Then right-click on the group and select 'Delete'.
  • To re-add the group, paste the share URL into the address bar, and the group will reappear.
  • Don't worry if you lose the share link, you will find all your template links listed in Settings > My Wavebox > Templates.
  • Learn more about Templates here.

3) Save as a Dashboard Collection

  • Right-click on the group and select Add to Dashboard.
  • Choose the Dashboard and Collection Widget, or create a new Collection widget.
  • Click on 'Add', and all apps for the group will appear as icons in a Dashboard Collection widget.  These can be re-added to a new webdock group at any time.
  • Note that this method will not include tabs in the Collection.
