move text to correct section / still need to merge rewrite
After archiving, the list of family trees will now show your original family tree with a right-pointing triangle on its left.
* Click on the triangle to display the archive name.(Click again to collapse the archive list).
 
Archives can be deleted, renamed and Extracted.
If you click on an archive, the {{man button|Extract-}} button becomes visible. Click on this to obtain the extracted archive. It will appear in the family tree list as ''<name of original tree>:<name of archive>'' and is now an independent family tree. This can be a useful way of preserving an archive, because archives disappear if the originating tree is deleted; and they are not incorporated into a Portable Gramps XML export of the tree.
