FAQPage Schema

How do I archive completed changes in an OpenSpec workflow?▼

To archive completed changes in the OpenSpec workflow, you provide the change name to move its directory into the archive folder. This preserves a recoverable history for future audits.

When should I archive a change instead of keeping it active?▼

You should archive a change after implementation and validation are complete. Archiving finalized changes maintains a clean active-changes view while retaining a retrievable traceability record.

How does delta spec comparison work before archiving?▼

Delta spec comparison assesses experimental changes against main specs to decide if syncing is needed. This ensures delta specs are properly evaluated before you archive the directory.

What checks are required before archiving an OpenSpec change?▼

Before archiving an OpenSpec change, the workflow requires artifact completion checks and task status evaluation. These checks ensure the change is fully implemented and validated.

Can I recover an archived change if I need to reference it later?▼

Yes, archiving completed changes preserves a recoverable history for audits and future references. The process moves directories into managed archive folders rather than deleting them.
