# Restore archived assets

Assets in the *Archived* state are available on the **Archived assets** page. After a default period of 30 days, any [non-essential renditions](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/default-renditions.html "Default renditions") of [archived assets](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/archive-assets.html "Archive assets") are deleted. You can restore an archived asset to the *Approved* state at any time. If you restore an asset after 30 days, the original file and deleted renditions are processed again.
