# Archiving Accounts

> Archive accounts you are no longer working to free up monthly credits in WhiteWhale. Archived accounts retain their signal history if you reactivate later.

<iframe src="https://www.loom.com/embed/4122a64c39864b5b9d3e35fa7580b246" title="How to Archive Accounts in WhiteWhale" className="w-full aspect-video rounded-xl" frameBorder="0" allowFullScreen />

Archiving pauses an account and returns its credit slot so you can add a new account in its place. All historical signal data is preserved — archiving is not the same as deleting.

## How to archive an account

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to the Accounts page">
    Find the account you want to archive.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select the account">
    Check the checkbox next to the account name.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Archive and confirm">
    Press **Archive** and confirm. The account is immediately paused and the credit slot is freed up.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What archiving does

* Stops the account from running — no new signals will fire
* Frees up one credit slot for a new account
* Preserves all historical signal data — you can still view everything that was found before archiving

## Rotating your account list

Archiving is designed for monthly list rotation. If your plan includes 1,000 accounts, you can archive your current 1,000 at the end of the month and add a fresh 1,000 — cycling through your full prospect list over time.

You can see your current capacity at any time by clicking **Add Accounts** in the top right of the Accounts page.

<Warning>
  You can only archive each account once per month. You cannot archive and re-add the same account repeatedly within the same billing period.
</Warning>
