To archive your story highlights, you need to ensure your Instagram Stories are automatically archived. This setting allows your stories, and by extension, highlights created from them, to be saved.
The core process involves enabling the automatic archiving feature for your Instagram Stories. Once stories are archived, they remain available in your archive, which is where you can select them later to create or add to story highlights. The reference indicates that having your stories automatically archived is the mechanism linked to having highlights archived or available for highlight creation.
Steps to Automatically Archive Your Instagram Stories (Linked to Highlights)
Follow these simple steps to turn on automatic story archiving on Instagram:
- Go to your profile: Open the Instagram app and navigate to your profile page.
- Access the menu: Tap the three lines located in the top right corner of your profile screen. This opens the main menu.
- Select Archive: From the menu options, tap on Archive.
Once you are in the Archive section, you will typically find settings related to archiving stories. Ensure the setting for "Save Story to Archive" or similar is toggled on. With this setting active, every story you post will be automatically saved to your private archive, making it available for you to view later or select for creating new story highlights or adding to existing ones. The reference specifies that turning on automatic story archiving is how your stories and, "by extension, highlights" are archived.
This process ensures that the content used in your highlights is preserved and accessible in your archive.
