# Archive (All posts) Template
**Persona** 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.
Archive (All posts) Page
### 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.
### **If you've previously modified** **your** `routes.yaml`
**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 **Download current routes** 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:
```yaml
routes:
/:
controller: channel
filter: tag:-hash-case
template: index
/archive/:
controller: channel
template: archive
data: page.archive
filter: tag:-hash-case
/cases/:
controller: channel
template: custom-cases
data: page.cases
filter: tag:hash-case
collections:
/:
permalink: /{slug}/
template: index
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)**.**
