Function: Scispot allows users to archive Labspaces, pages, folders, and subspaces, helping maintain a clean and organized workspace. Archiving ensures that completed or inactive projects remain accessible without cluttering the research areas.
Use Case: A researcher wrapping up a completed project can archive the associated Labspace and its documentation. This keeps current experiments front and centre, while still preserving past work for future reference.
