How to Archive Avatar Items

[OfficialDipsy]

This seemed to be the case this morning. My item is now gone completely, even from my inventory…

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.

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

@TheFreeThinker

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.

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.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

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.

Existing owners of your item will continue owning the item in the inventory and be able to wear it on their avatar.

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.
