# Territory Model State

Territory model state indicates whether a territory is in the planning stage, in active use, or archived. You can have only one active territory model at a time. But you can create and maintain multiple models in planning or archived state to use for extra modeling or reference. Some states reflect a territory model’s lifecycle and others indicate errors in processing when states are changed.

### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small edition"><colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: Salesforce Classic for some features and Lightning Experience for all features</td></tr><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: <strong>Performance</strong> and <strong>Developer</strong> Editions and in <strong>Enterprise</strong> and <strong>Unlimited</strong> Editions with Sales</td></tr></tbody></table>

The Manage Territories permission:

- Provides users access to territories in planning and archived state and to the list of accounts and leads assigned to territories in planning and archived state.
- Doesn’t provide access to the accounts and leads assigned to territories in planning and archived state. Only the name and ID fields appear in the list. To run territory planning reports, users must get access to accounts and leads via a method other than the permission.

              state lets users view model details, including hierarchies, territories, and all assigned
              accounts and users. Users assigned to territories within an active model can access and
              modify accounts and leads that they’re assigned to within that model. And territory
              forecasts are based on your active territory model.</p>

              archived model lets admins view hierarchy and rule assignments as they were configured when

              reactivated. </p>
            <p>When you archive a territory model or delete a territory on an active model,
              the Territory field is reset to a blank value on opportunity records with those territories
              assigned.</p>
            <p style="margin-bottom:0;">And when you archive a territory model, Salesforce deletes your territory
              forecasts, forecast types, quotas, and adjustments. Before you archive a territory model,
              consider running the opportunity territory assignment filter and then taking screenshots of
              the forecasts page. You can also create a <a href="https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=data_defining_analytic_snap.htm&amp;language=en_US" target="_blank">snapshot</a>.</p>
