If an outline is getting large, you may want to archive pieces of it.

It works by converting a sub-outline into an include.

An advanced feature

• This is an advanced feature and should only be used by people who understand includes, and have large outlines that are taking a long time to save. Most people don't need to archive sections of their outlines, at least not yet.

Archived material can't be edited

• Only archive sections that you don't need to edit, because you won't be able to edit them.

• For example, if you're keeping a blog in Fargo, you might want to archive July's posts at the beginning of August, only if you're sure you won't need to edit them.

How to

• Put the cursor on the section of the outline you want to archive.

• Choose Archive outline from the File menu.

• Click OK to the confirmation prompt.

• Wait a few seconds.

• The bar cursor should change to an include node.

Technical details

• The archives are stored in the archive sub-folder of your Fargo folder in Dropbox.

• They're stored in a calendar structure and given fairly cryptic names that are very unlikely to "collide" with each other.
