I'm sorry, but that's an unexpected workflow, and isn't supported.
I did check on my own site if it might be possible to switch the archive display mode to the code editor and to, at least, copy the markup for the output section to a View block that had also been switched to the code editor, but I didn't manage to get it to work.
You could try the same, taking a more granular approach to parts of the output, but I'm not confident it will work as it is not supported.
I think we are misunderstanding each other.
I created an archive page using archive loop, instead of creating a view.
I then realized that we can create views, to apply to multiple archive pages.
Now I have my archive loop page set up.
How can I convert that into a view, or how can I reuse that design on other archive pages?
I want to convert my Toolset Archive into a Toolset view.
I don't have the option you show since I'm not using that theme.
So that's why I was thinking of saving it as view.
How can I save my current Toolset Archive and use it on another archive?
Where do I see my set of save views and save archive designs?
If you need assistance for it, if you need more assistance for it, please provide a test site with the same problem, fill below private message box with test site credentials, I can setup a demo for you.
