  • Products: The process of archiving products has been overhauled:
    • Published products to be archived must be set to status 'Draft', synced, and then archived.
    • 'Archived' is no longer a separate status. Archived products will have status 'Draft' and be presented with a grey pencil icon. These products can still  be found by using the 'Browse archived products' function.
    • 'Archive' and 'Unarchive' are now separate actions that can be found in the menu.
