1.1 Ground Control – Drone Archiving Overview
Before you start:
Archiving a drone helps maintain an accurate list of active assets while preserving all historical flight data for compliance and record-keeping.
This action can only be performed of you're a Team Admin or in your Personal Workspace.

1.3 What Happens to My Data
Archiving a drone is a non-destructive action. All operational data and compliance records remain intact and accessible.
• Past Missions and Logs are Preserved:
Archiving does not affect your mission data. All flight logs, telemetry, and mission details associated with the drone remain visible in your records for compliance, auditing, and performance review.
• Compliance Records Remain Intact:
Archived drones retain their historical links to missions and maintenance records, ensuring full traceability for regulatory or internal audits.
• Improved Asset Management:
Archiving inactive drones helps declutter your workspace while keeping all essential data safely stored.
