I no longer have some gear. If I delete an item from my Gear list will

1. the session remain?
2. the gear item still be listed in the gear for the sessions I used it in?

Hi, if you delete a gear item, it will be removed everywhere — including all session connections that reference it.

What you should do instead is **archive** the gear item. Archived gear is hidden from your gear list by default (you can show it again via the filter), but it stays linked to all past sessions.
