It seems Roblox will generally detour to help us … if it’s in their interest.
I appreciate the effort put into the assistance of the creative side…
But they need to be a little more proactive with the annoying things as well.
There is no reason for unused decals to not be deleted - not like it can be bought or not even published for that fact … yet stuck in Studio.

Archiving will simply make it not visible to others in the catalog? That’s lame. Setting it off-sale already worked similar to this. People can still use the link to my item and see it. And that means it can be DMCA-ed too.

the link to the item will return to the catalog page if said user doesnt own it (as if it got deleted)
Are there any plans for users to be able to archive assets they’ve uploaded to groups? As I’m only able to see assets I’ve uploaded to my profile.
As it seems unfair getting moderated for assets you’re completely unable to find if you’ve left the group or forgotten where you’ve uploaded them. Or are you off the hook for assets uploaded to groups that you’re no longer apart and get moderated?
Thirdly, the asset browser starts bugging out/failing to load thumbnails once you reach ~80-100 pages of assets making it hard to archive assets way back then as you’re unable to identify assets from years ago. Just hoping this gets fixed as I can’t really go past ~2020 in terms of assets uploaded.
Does this mean email archive requests won’t be processed anymore? As there are assets from over 3 years ago that have yet to be processed.
Does sending in archive emails mean that they may be subject to an IP takedown/DMCA rather than fully removing them from the site?
And is the proactive archiving still active or has that been stopped?

Assets can be archived from groups. If you’re the owner, from my own experience, you have full control over every asset in the group no matter what user or account uploaded it.
That’s a different question if you’ve abandoned a group or if a group is under new ownership that really should be answered.
There’s a bunch of key ambiguities that are just missing from this update announcement that really should be answered.
Refresh the page. You may have to do it multiple times. It’ll load eventually. It also helps if you disnamed the asset in question, so just by looking at the name you can identify the asset without even seeing the thumbnail.
Ok this is lame.
So this is a lie, I guess?
What’s the point of archiving then? Just less probability?
We’ve waited years to have a process to remove assets from the platform and it seems that after every update we get “Sorry, our princess is in another castle”

This seemed to be the case this morning. My item is now gone completely, even from my inventory…
I’m mainly referring to groups you’re no longer apart of but still have uploaded assets to.
i.e: Groups I made and abandoned over 13 years ago but still have assets on them, not current groups I have ownership of
Refreshing the page resets the page count. Going back has the same problem…

What does it mean when it says “Item is too new to archive”? the item in question is 2 months old
EDIT: Nvm i just found out why. it has to be at least 180 days old to be archivable

Agree, that’s something that should be answered.
Archive requests by emailing support worked for that even if a group wasn’t under the ownership of the owner who uploaded those assets.
Now prospects of any email support is up in the air. I hope they thought this through because roblox have been working on an archive system for several years at this point while still being cagey about the details.
Would this every come for Meshes?
Currently this is a feature for MeshParts but not for Meshes.

Thank you for this! I was just able to archive like 8 shirts and pants I had cluttering my account since 2018.
YES! FINALLY! Many people have been waiting wanting to take their items off! This is a nice update and change!
Thanks for your detailed answers to all of our questions/concerns!! Especially ones that impact user safety.
If you’re going to say this, at least have the decency to respond to important concerns.
Edit: Just noticed you’ve made around 6 announcements but haven’t replied to a single one. I’m assuming the onus is on the team responsible to reply to concerns, not yourself, but please notify them to do so if they’re not aware of these queries.

This feature took way longer than it should have. We kept getting moderated for assets we uploaded years ago, back when there were no DMC restrictions. We couldn’t do anything to stop it or even delete the assets to avoid more moderation, which resulted to many people getting their accounts permanently deleted.

So it’s not like with paid assets, where you’d get refunded if they’re deleted? What about archived copyrighted items, People who owns it can still wear it, would i still be moderated for that?
I only just now noticed that they updated the FAQ with additional info on what archiving means. They added some of the points I already mentioned, and confirmed that an avatar item needs to be at least 180 days old before it can be archived.

When will archiving support limiteds? I have items that break TOS and I can’t archive as it is limited, and I am on my last strike to termination.
