Great and much needed update
On a side note - I feel like it would also be beneficial to have the option to archive on the actual items page once clicking on the action button, i.e.
So long as the item that he got banned for was listed in the removal request - they should be able to get their account back. This actually happened to me but I was able to get my account back by sending them the support ticket which contained the moderated id - not sure if you have already tried that.
how long do we have to wait until a accessory can be archived

Finally!
The long wait is over.
Question: How can we have items archived that are in groups that we no longer own, or have access to whether a group has a new owner or is closed without any members or an owner?

Iâll assume the items can only be archived if they are over 6 months old.

I have a problem where I accidently published an item under my account instead of my group, so now Iâve lost 2,250 robux and canât reupload it to my group because itâs identical.
Will archiving the original one allow me to upload the new one? And why is there not some sort of transfer process available? I tried contacting support but they couldnât do anything, not even delete the item under my account at my request so I donât have a duplicate.
I also feel like the current publishing system is a little problematic as once an item is published under somewhere itâs stuck there. It would be nice if it could be uploaded and published under our account, but linked to a group to prevent the item being stuck under either the account or group.

Even if you archive it, the system will automatically not allow it because everything in the item is still identical. You can publish it by making a slight change to the texture/mesh.

Your item will not be deleted as long as it does not violate the rules; archiving does not mean your item will be deleted, it just means it wonât be visible to others in the catalog.

You not only uploaded the item but also published it. This means you approved this twice, and I have no idea whatâs going on there. Publishing an identical item multiple times is against the marketplace policy; you should be a bit more careful when agreeing twice next time.
-
If we look at the creation date of your item, you will need to wait 6+ months if you want to archive it (I assume a minimum of 6 months is required because I cannot archive an item I created 5 months and 11 days ago, and half a year kind of makes sense to me)

I havenât heard of a âtransfer processâ for UGC items being possible since the existence of UGC, so I can understand why Roblox support hasnât helped.

It seems Roblox will generally detour to help us ⌠if itâs in their interest.
I appreciate the effort put into the assistance of the creative sideâŚ
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? Thatâs 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 theyâve uploaded to groups? As Iâm only able to see assets Iâve uploaded to my profile.
As it seems unfair getting moderated for assets youâre completely unable to find if youâve left the group or forgotten where youâve uploaded them. Or are you off the hook for assets uploaded to groups that youâre 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 youâre unable to identify assets from years ago. Just hoping this gets fixed as I canât really go past ~2020 in terms of assets uploaded.
Does this mean email archive requests wonât 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 youâre the owner, from my own experience, you have full control over every asset in the group no matter what user or account uploaded it.
Thatâs a different question if youâve abandoned a group or if a group is under new ownership that really should be answered.
Thereâs 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. Itâll 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.
