# Archive

Just another section like the [**active tab**](/chatman-enterprise-whatsapp-platform/chatman-functions/templates/active.md) for storing the templates irrespective of the status: **approved**, **pending** and **rejected**.

The main purpose of the section is to **store all the pending and rejected templates**, **filtering the active tab for better visibility**. You can also move the unnecessary or rarely used templates to the archive tab.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**After creating a template, it is visible in the active tab only.**
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**You need to move the templates from the active to the archive tab; this is a manual task.**
{% endhint %}

Say you want to check **why templates were rejected by WhatsApp**, for this purpose you choose feedback templates.&#x20;

So how do you search for rejected feedback templates?
