I am always getting new software or hardware and selling old stuff. I want to archive the records and not search them. Would be nice to have an “archive” category (or a checkbox in the record) that wouldn’t be searched.

Hi @myronm

Thank you for your support of Codebook. While you could add a new custom label to represent an archive, we do not have a mechanism in place that would prevent it from showing up in a search. We will keep this in mind for the future, if there is further interest from others it will be something that is considered. Thanks!
