# Archive (All posts) Template

**Digital** has a template for the **Archive (All posts) Page**, which shows all of the posts of your publication. An archive page is not required, but you can add it if you want.

## To add Archive Page:

To add an Archive Page to your publication, you'll need to modify your `routes.yaml` file due to the nature of Ghost's routing system.&#x20;

### <mark style="background-color:orange;">**If you've previously modified**</mark> <mark style="background-color:orange;"></mark><mark style="background-color:orange;">your</mark> <mark style="background-color:orange;"></mark><mark style="background-color:orange;">`routes.yaml`</mark>

**If you've previously modified** your `routes.yaml` file for any reason, you only need to incorporate the following lines to add an **Archive Page** to your publication. This ensures you keep your custom configurations while enabling the archive functionality.

#### **Here's a quick guide:**

1. Access your Ghost admin area, then navigate to **Settings** > **Labs**.
2. Under the **Labs** section, find and click on the <mark style="color:green;">**Download current routes**</mark> button to upload your current `routes.yaml` file.
3. Open your `routes.yaml` file in a text editor.
4. Add the following lines to your `routes.yaml` file:

   ```
   routes: 
     /archive/:
       controller: channel
       template: archive
       data: page.archive
       filter: tag:-hash-project

   collections:
     /:
       permalink: /{slug}/
       template: index
       filter: tag:-hash-project

     /projects/:
       permalink: /projects/{slug}/
       template: projects
       filter: tag:hash-project
       data: page.projects

   taxonomies:
     tag: /tag/{slug}/
     author: /author/{slug}/
   ```
5. Save your changes and re-upload the `routes.yaml` file through the same **Labs** section by clicking **Upload routes file** button.
6. After completing these steps, you need to [**add an Archive Page**](#adding-an-archive-page)**.**

### <mark style="background-color:orange;">**If you have not previously modified**</mark> <mark style="background-color:orange;"></mark><mark style="background-color:orange;">your</mark> <mark style="background-color:orange;"></mark><mark style="background-color:orange;">`routes.yaml`</mark>

**This guide is intended for users who have not previously modified** their `routes.yaml` file. If you have already made changes to your `routes.yaml` file, please check [**this guide**](#if-youve-previously-modified-your-routes.yaml).

#### **Here's a quick guide:**

* Access your Ghost admin area, then navigate to **Settings** > **Labs**.
* Under the **Labs** section, find and click on the <mark style="color:green;">**Download current routes**</mark> button for the `routes.yaml` file to make a backup.
* Download this `routes.yaml` :&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
In case if you can't download our file, here is how your `routes.yaml` should look like:

```
routes: 
  /archive/:
    controller: channel
    template: archive
    data: page.archive
    filter: tag:-hash-project

collections:
  /:
    permalink: /{slug}/
    template: index
    filter: tag:-hash-project

  /projects/:
    permalink: /projects/{slug}/
    template: projects
    filter: tag:hash-project
    data: page.projects

taxonomies:
  tag: /tag/{slug}/
  author: /author/{slug}/
```

{% endhint %}

* Upload new `routes.yaml` file through the same **Labs** section by clicking **Upload routes file** button.&#x20;
* After completing these steps, you need to [**add an Archive Page**](#adding-an-archive-page)**.**

### Adding an Archive Page:

1. In your Ghost admin area, go to **Pages** and click on the **New Page** button in the top right corner.
2. Title your page. You can choose any title you like for the **Archive Page**.
3. Click <img src="/files/HEL3YKhepTBJy63K2kqX" alt="" data-size="line"> icon in the top right corner to open the **Page settings**
4. In the **Page** **URL** section, ensure the slug is set to `archive`. This links the page to the route you've set up in your `routes.yaml` file.
5. **Optionally**, you can add an excerpt and feature an image to make the page more engaging.
6. Once you're done, click on **Publish** to make your **Archive Page** live.

This page will now follow the Archive template and functionality as defined in your routes.yaml file.
