Archiving all items in a vault
A long time ago, I started putting items that I didn't need anymore into a vault that I called "Graveyard" because, if I remember correctly, at that time it wasn't possible to search in the Archive. ...

Items that are archived no longer show up in search results or as suggestions when filling logins into websites open in the browser or other apps. The Archive is meant as a place where you can store items that you no longer need right now but want to keep just in case you need them in the future.
If you'd prefer to use separate vaults to store different types of items then you can definitely do that as well. You can even use collections to choose which vaults you see in the 1Password app: Use collections to create custom groups of vaults

Yes, that is exactly what I'd like to do. I suppose that to do what you describe, all the items I want to move must be in the Graveyard Archive and not in the Graveyard vault.
But before following the steps you describe, I would like to understand why I should prefer to use the Archive instead of the Graveyard vault I've been using for years.
I've just read a few pages of the "Using 1Password" part of the site and I see that I have some new things to learn. To tell the truth, I've been updating the app regularly but I haven't been keeping up to date on the new things that have been added. I'm planning to catch up as soon as I can.
The only reason I was not happy with my two vaults was because I didn't know about the search filters. I wanted to be able to search active items (the ones in the Personal vault) separately and not see old unused items in the result. Since I can search in one vault or another using the search filters, I don't see the advantage of using the Archive instead of a dedicated vault, like my Graveyard vault. There must be a good reason but I can't see it. Can you please clarify this for me?
