How to Archive or Merge Pinterest Boards

If you’re hesitant to delete one of your Pinterest boards forever, there are two less permanent options. Both archiving and merging boards can be chosen in Step 5 above instead of deletion. Archiving a board takes it off your profile and tells Pinterest to stop giving you recommendations based on its pins. If you want, you can unarchive it later and restore it to your profile. You may not want a board anymore. Still, if the pins it houses are good ones that could fit into another board, merge the two. This can be done by turning your unwanted board into a new section on another board.
