It could be done by using the summary (click on the ... close to the topic title) and adding there a category.
Thank you! That's a useful way.
What does "archived" mean to you? Or, what's the goal for archiving? To get it out of your way? To find all the old stuff in the same place? Something else?
A lot of people using that style of discussion will "Mark as resolved", which collapses the discussion. This causes problems with using your web browser's Find... function to search recent conversations, but it does get it out of your way.
It means finding the old stuff in the same place to me.
I wish flow topics could be moved from one page to another or moved up and down regardless of the time order (for now the topics with new replies are above). This would be helpful for arranging previous discussions and it would be more convenient for future reference.
If developers would like to continue to improve flow, I hope they could take this feature into consideration.
Thank you!
