# Archive animated icon

Something is filed. Light: the lid lifts, a document card slides out from under it and drops into the box (clipped at the rim), and the lid follows it down with a hit and a small bounce. Strong: the lid lifts with a tilt, two cards drop in turn, and the lid slams with a bounce and a settle. The box never moves.
