# Managing Auctions

The Auctions page is your central hub for viewing, editing, and managing all of your auction listings.

***

## Auction List

Your auctions are displayed in a list view containing relevant fields, such as product name, current bid, number of bids, and status.

### Status Filters

* **Active** — Auctions currently accepting bids.
* **Scheduled** — Auctions set to start in the future.
* **Completed** — Auctions that have ended (with or without a winner).
* **Archived** — Auctions moved to the archive.

### Sorting

Sort by creation date, end date, start date, or total bids.

***

## Viewing Auction Details

Click on any auction to open its detail page. Here you can see the current bid, bid history, auction settings, and winner information.

***

## Actions

### Edit

Click **Edit** to modify an auction's settings.

* **Scheduled listings** — All settings can be modified.
* **Active listings** — Some settings are restricted after bids have been placed (for example, you cannot lower the start price below the current bid).
* **Ended listings** — Settings cannot be modified after the auction has ended.

### End Now

Immediately end an active auction before its scheduled end time. If there is an eligible high bidder, they are declared the winner.

### Cancel Listing

Cancel an auction listing entirely. No winner is declared.

### Archive

Move a completed auction to the archive to keep your active list clean. If the auction has an unpaid winner, the winner is **canceled** when archived. Archived auctions can still be viewed using the **Archived** status filter.

### Unarchive

Restore a previously archived auction back to the completed list.
