Move a project to your archive

Archiving a project hides it from your dashboard's project overview without deleting it or its data. You archive a project with the Archive project switch in its Project settings, and you can unarchive it at any time.


Archiving a project


You can archive a project from the project overview in your dashboard or from inside the project. Templates can't be archived.


Archiving a project from the project overview


  1. In your dashboard, hover over the project's tile and point to the ... button in its top-right corner. A menu opens.
  2. Click Archive project. Project settings opens on the Archive project page.
  3. Turn on the Archive project switch.
  4. Click Save.


Archiving a project from inside the project


  1. Open the project.
  2. In the left sidebar, click Project settings.
  3. In the list on the left, click Archive project.
  4. Turn on the Archive project switch.
  5. Click Save.


The project is only archived after you click Save. It then moves out of All projects and the project's categories and into the Archived item of the left menu.

What happens to an archived project


Archiving hides a project in your dashboard. For the project itself, this means:


  • The project stays online if it was live, and anyone with its direct link can still open it.
  • Visits are still counted in the project's statistics.
  • The project no longer appears in the overview of projects that visitors see on your published site.
  • None of the project's pages, settings or data are deleted.
  • The project keeps its categories.
  • You can unarchive the project at any time. It then returns to your dashboard and to the overview on your published site.


Finding your archived projects


Archived projects are listed under Archived in the left menu of your dashboard. Each project type has its own Archived item, with the number of archived projects of that type next to it. The Archived item only appears once at least one project of that type is archived. In this view, each project's tile shows an "Archived" label.

Unarchiving a project


To unarchive a project, turn off the Archive project switch in its Project settings:


  1. In the left menu of your dashboard, click Archived under the project type.
  2. Hover over the project's tile and point to the ... button in its top-right corner. A menu opens.
  3. Click Archive project. Project settings opens on the Archive project page.
  4. Turn off the Archive project switch.
  5. Click Save.


The project returns to the categories it was in and to the overview on your published site.


Frequently asked questions


Is an archived project still online?


Yes. Archiving doesn't change whether a project is live. A live project that you archive stays online, and anyone with its direct link can still open it. It's only left out of the overview of projects that visitors see on your published site.


Why don't I see an Archived item in my dashboard menu?


The Archived item in the left menu of your dashboard only appears once at least one project is archived. Each project type has its own Archived item, so it shows up only under the project types that have an archived project.


Can I archive a template?


No. Templates can't be archived. The Archive project option doesn't appear in a template's menu or Project settings.


What's the difference between archiving and deleting a project?


Archiving hides a project from your dashboard's project overview but keeps the project, its data and its live status, and you can undo it at any time. Deleting a project, with Delete project in the left sidebar inside the project, can't be undone: the project's pages are lost, and only its files stay available in your library.
