Recalling A Document From the Scribd Archive

Your documents will automatically be entered into the Archive after an initial period of time. You can recall a document from the Archive by opening the document's properties, clicking the Archive Status tab, then clicking the Recall from Archive command. If a document's properties page doesn't have an Archive Status tab, then that document has not yet been placed into the Scribd Archive. To learn how to edit your documents' properties, please see our Writer's Guide.

After a couple months your document will return to the Archive, and you can repeat this process to recall it again.

Exempting Your Documents From the Scribd Archive

You can also permanently exempt all of your documents from being placed in the Archive. To do so, open the Scribd Archive tab of your Account Settings and look for the section labeled “My Uploaded Documents”. Check the box next to “Do not include my documents in the Scribd Archive program," then click the Save Changes button.

As long as this box is checked your documents will remain out of the Archive.
