There is no delete for a subcontractor. Their certificates and compliance history are the evidence an audit or a claim will ask to see, so WatchMyCover archives them instead.

​
Archive a subcontractor

Open the vendor and choose Archive, then Archive vendor. Use this when a vendor is no longer working for you. When a vendor is archived:
  • They stop appearing in your register, the dashboard, the export and shared reports.
  • Queued renewal chases are canceled, and they are not chased again.
  • Every upload link sent to them stops working.
  • They no longer count toward your plan’s vendor limit.
  • Their certificates, documents, verdict history and activity are kept.
The vendor’s page stays reachable, marked Archived: “Archived: not in your register and not chased. Restore it to chase it or send an upload link.” To see archived vendors, go to Vendors and switch the Active filter to Archived.

​
Restore a subcontractor

Open the archived vendor and choose Restore. They return to the register, are re-checked, and chasing resumes for whatever is due now. Restoring counts against your plan’s vendor limit like adding one.
A spreadsheet row with the same company name as an archived vendor is not imported. Restore the vendor first to update it from a spreadsheet.

​
Archiving documents

Documents on a vendor’s page can be archived separately, by an owner or admin, with Archive beside the file. An archived document stays on file, marked archived; nothing is deleted. Anyone on the team can archive or restore a vendor.
