Hello. I mistakenly archived an invoice. Is there a way to bring it out of archive without having to re-create a new invoice?
Thanks!

Under Manage Invoices in your Account.
Click on the Advanced Filter tab.
Select Archived items from the drop-down selection box next to "Filter by".
Click on "Show".
This should bring up all of your Archived Invoices.
Check the box in front of the Invoice you want to Unarchive
Click on "Unarchive".
Then under Basic filter, click on "All active".
You should have your Archived Invoice back.

this needs an updated solution. paypal menus are so convoluted. i thought archiving something would make it EASIER to find but alas the transaction seems lost forever. can't find it even in my archived list.

Same issue here. My invoice is lost forever as well apparently because even when I follow the suggestions above, there is no such archive listed. Grrr

I just figured this one out!
On the newer Paypal set-up (UK), click on 'Activity' on the main toolbar at the top of the page;
Next, click on the first drop-down box which should say 'Active' to begin with;
From the drop-down menu you can select 'Archive', then all you need to do is select a date range for your missing invoice.
When you find the one you're looking for there should be a button on it which says 'Remove From Archive'. This sent mine back to my main activity list. Yay!
