Archive, restore, and delete projects

If you are a project administrator, you can archive projects if you no longer want to work on them, don't want project members to access the project, or if you want to delete the project.

If you want to resume work on an archived project, you must restore it first. Permissions are not saved when you archive a project, so they would have to be recreated after a restore.

Archive a project

Archived projects cannot be accessed by project members. Project administrators can restore archived projects at at any point.

From the Home tab:

  1. On the left side of the Home tab, click Projects.

    A list of projects in the hub is shown.

  2. Place the pointer over the project you want to archive and click More more menu icon.

  3. In the drop-down menu that opens, click Archive.

  4. In the confirmation dialog that opens, click Archive.
