Don M Thomas said: What is Archive in "Memories," and if one moves their "Memories" to Archive can they still be seen by others?

Bryant said: Memories in your Archive can still be seen by others. It's a place you can move memories out of your "My Memories" workspace, when you're finished tagging them, adding titles, etc.

Tom Huber said: Since I do not have a lot of memories in my Gallery, I checked and yes, once memories are moved to an album, they remain in the album. The only thing that happens when you archive a memory, is that it disappears from the main working section and appears in the Archive section.

That is one neat feature and makes working with memories a lot easier. Once they've been fully tagged and everything recorded about the memory, it can be moved to the Archive section and it no longer litters the main memories section, which is called "My Memories". I can move the memory back to "My Memories" if I want to, or I can work with it in the Archive section.
