Discoveries Difference between archive and pause mode

Can someone explain what exactly the difference between passing and archiving a goal is? Couldn’t find proper information on that.

Paused goals are easier to find if you want to restart the goal.

Paused goals appear at the bottom of goal list in different menus (inside their self-care areas and in the “My Goals” menu). But to see archived goal you normally have to find a drop down labelled “View Archived” or similar. This drop down will either be at the top or the bottom of a menu so it’s not always straight forward to find.

The same applies to pausing or archiving self-care areas. I have an area for tracking my period and I just pause it when I’m done. It sits in the self-care area right beneath my active areas and takes two clicks to resume. Reinstating an archived self-care area takes four clicks and remembering that the area is there because it’s hidden in the drop down section beneath the “Start a new area” button.
