How to Archive a Project
When a project is finished, you archive it. Archiving makes the project read-only while preserving all of its data — and you can restore it any time. This replaces the legacy "conclude an installation" step.
Archive a project
- Open the project and click Settings (the gear in the project header).
- On the Project settings page, scroll to the Danger zone.
- Under Archive this project, click Archive.
- Confirm in the dialog.
The project becomes read-only and moves to the Archived list. All data is preserved.
Restore an archived project
- Go to Projects and click Archived (top right).
- Open the archived project, go to Settings → Project settings.
- In the Danger zone, click Restore.
The project returns to the active list and resumes normal editing.
Archiving is an Org Admin / Project Admin action — the Danger zone is hidden for read-only members.
