Use project archiving to remove inactive projects from day-to-day lists while keeping their data.
Project archiving is available on the Enterprise plan.
Archiving removes the project from active workflows. It is excluded from portfolio analysis and can affect any shared links, presentations, version comparisons, dashboards, and automations that depend on it. You also cannot upload new versions while the project is archived.

Why archive instead of delete

Archiving is useful when a project is inactive but still important to keep.
  • It avoids permanent data loss from deleting old projects.
  • It keeps project lists focused on active work.
  • It preserves project history so you can restore it later.
  • It frees project slots while keeping retained versions available.

What happens when you archive a project

When you archive a project:
  • It is hidden from normal project lists.
  • It becomes read-only and cannot be modified.
  • It no longer counts toward your workspace project limit.
  • Its existing versions still count toward your workspace version limit.

If your workspace is already at its project limit, unarchiving is blocked until you free up capacity.

Verify it worked

After archiving, the project should no longer appear in standard project lists and direct project links should show an archived/not found page. After unarchiving, the project should be visible in lists again and accessible normally.
