Archive a project

If you don’t want to work on a project in the foreseeable future, you can archive it. Archiving is a lightweight operation in Scrum Mate, you can unarchive a project at any time.

To archive a project, navigate to the project settings page.

• Open the project menu on the application header.
• Open more options on the popup menu and select the 'Settings' item.

On the project settings page, click on the [Archive this project] button.

When you archive a project:

• The project will disappear from the left navigation panel unless the project is on your favorites list.
• If you archive a project that has stories on a team board, those stories will remain on the team’s board.
• You can’t connect an archived project to a board.
• You can’t move a story from another project to an archived project.
• Stories from archived projects won’t be shown as a search result in a story search unless it is on a team board.
