Hide or Archive Completed Agreements in Adobe Sign

Use the Adobe Document Cloud dashboard to change the visibility of completed files and move them out of your active view.

Depending on your Adobe Sign workflow and account type, "Archiving" an agreement often means hiding it from your primary list rather than moving it to a physical folder. The document remains safely stored on the cloud.

Log into your Adobe account

Navigate to the Adobe Acrobat Document Cloud website and log in with your credentials.

Access your documents

Click on the 'Agreements' or 'Documents' tab located in the top navigation bar to view your files.

Filter by completed status

Select the 'Completed' or 'Signed' category from the left-hand menu to display all finalized agreements.

Archive the agreement

Hover over or check the box next to the agreement you wish to archive, then click 'Hide' or 'Archive' from the right-hand action menu.

Account Permissions: If you do not see an Archive option, it may be restricted by your organization's Adobe Document Cloud workflow settings. In some cases, downloading the signed PDF and organizing it locally is the best alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I see the Archive button for my signed agreements?

If the Archive or Hide button is missing, it is likely due to your specific user permissions or the enterprise workflow configuration set by your company's Adobe Acrobat Sign administrator.

Does archiving an agreement delete it permanently?

No, archiving a signed agreement only removes it from your active view or moves it to an Archive folder. It is not permanently deleted and can still be retrieved via the search function.

Can I keep a document visible in multiple folders simultaneously?

Adobe Document Cloud primarily categorizes documents by their current status (e.g., Signed, Draft). To store files in custom folders without removing them from the main list, you may need to download the PDF and organize it locally or in a third-party cloud drive.
