Visit your [escalations page](https://app.spike.sh/escalations), select a policy, click the settings icon, and select **Archive**.
Archive option under escalation policy settings

Select Archive under the policy settings.

## Restrictions If the policy is in use on one or more integrations, archiving is not available. Update those integrations to use a different escalation policy first. {% hint style="success" %} Once the policy is no longer associated with any integration, you can archive it. {% endhint %} ## FAQs ### Does archiving affect on-call schedules? No. Archiving an escalation policy does not affect on-call schedules. ### Does archiving affect existing incidents? No. Existing incidents retain a reference to the archived policy. Spike displays a notice on those incidents to flag that the policy has been archived. ### How do I restore an archived policy? There's no self-serve restore option.
