Thanks for your reply, Jack! And sorry to rush you, I have just been worried that I was going to have to sort through 1000 previously-deleted items in order to find them, or else give them up for lost.
Your instructions worked great, although for step 4 I selected "Restore" rather than "Move" to get them back into my Defunct vault. ("Move" was actually greyed-out, presumably because the items were still in my Defunct vault, just in its archive.) It is good to know Collections can be used in this manner.
Three ideas to consider for your internal discussion about this issue, which I guess I already mentioned above:
- Could the help documentation be improved to make it clear the "Archive" is not itself a vault but rather contains items you've archived from all your vaults?
- Could the "View Archived Items" button that is shown within a vault filter the archive to show just that vault's archived items?
- Could there be some sort of search criteria to show a specific vault's archived items, eg, "vault:defunct AND item:is-archived" ?
Thanks again.
