4. You can put a title name that you want, here we put title like 'case-studies-customer-success-stories-backup', and click 'Create' button:
5. This will take a few moments to create, then a message will be displayed indicating that the creation is successful, and then click 'Done' to complete the creation of the archive folder:

Archive pages:
Overview: The effect of archiving a page is achieved by moving the unpublished page to the archive directory that we have created.

2. Select the page that you want to archive, then Click 'Move' button on top bar:
3. If you don't want to change the file name(If there is already a Page with a duplicate name in the Archive folder, then a numeric number will be appended to the end of the name of the current Page. For example, '11thjunecss' will become '11thjunecss1'.), you can leave the file name unchanged and just click 'Next' button:
4. Then will go to the 'Select Desitination' screen, select the backup folder we created at the beginning, then click the 'Next' button:
5. If the current page has been published, then 'Republish' will be checked here. If you do not need to automatically publish the page after the Move is completed, you can uncheck Republish and click the 'Move' button:
6. Next we can choose whether to execute now or some time in the future, in this case we select execute now and click the 'Continue' button:
7. Then it will indicate that the background task of moving the page has been submitted, click the Okay button to complete the move, and then the system will automatically create the task of moving the page in the background without manual intervention:
