@jimtyler that’s perfectly ok. I’ve further detailed the purpose of archival in [a response to you in a separate thread](https://community.purpleair.com/t/recording-data-while-traveling/8205/6).

Since you’ve not left on your trip yet, archiving was premature on our part. Apologies for the confusion. You can simply re-register the sensor privately right now and take it on your trip. If you want to re-register it publicly after your trip, let us know so we can archive all of the private data.
