Ah yes, I think having the term ‘archive’ mean different things in different contexts may exacerbate that too.

Though even with a separate button I think people are still open to the same issue. I imagine it could be quite easy to open the wrong bulk action menu and select ‘archive’ if that’s what you think you’re looking for.

For the ‘destructive’ side, technically they’re not strictly destructive in that they can be undone again. Though there are a few other ux/feature topics asking for bulk ‘undo’ style actions too (in this case ‘bulk un-archive’, though I think I remember one for bulk un-delete).

Where would you place the ‘move to archive’ bulk action in the PM version? Would those be pulled out into a separate ‘personal’ button too?
