Back up the store and choose one low-traffic product. Record its URL, SKU, category and existing orders before changing visibility.
Work through the task
The Product Archiver page describes a reversible archive action. In staging, archive the product, check shop search and category views, then restore it and compare the saved details.
Check the result
Verify that past order records remain readable and that direct product links behave as intended. Repeat with one variable product if the shop uses variants.
Current limits
The registry has no verified plugin listing or compatibility matrix. Confirm behavior with your WooCommerce and WordPress versions before using it on a live catalog.
