Broadstreet offers the option to archive unused zones. Archiving a zone means that ads will not be able to run in the specified zone. In order to archive a zone, there cannot be any active campaigns using the zone. All of the information tied to a zone will be saved when archived, so any code that has been added to your website will still work for a zone if it is unarchived at a later time. Note that if a zone was tied to an upcoming or future campaign before being archived, the campaign will still run at the scheduled date.
The process to archive a zone is easy in Broadstreet and is a good option if you do not need a zone to display ads but think you may later want to utilize it again. Archived zones can be viewed at any time and easily changed to active.
The summaries below walk you through the details and steps of archiving and unarchiving zones.
