### Best Practices

- We recommend that you double check before deleting any information from Resolution.
- If you are unsure about the task, and whether you want to delete the information. Consider creating a tag category named ‘Z Archived’ and place this in a tag category named ‘Z Archived’ (explained here in [**Deleting Tags**](https://support.resolutionapp.co.nz/tags/deleting-tags?hsLang=en-nz)). This way the task will be out of the way.
