How to archive a project

Permission: Owner or Manager

Set finished or paused projects aside without losing a thing. Your main list stays clean, your data stays preserved, and you can restore it in one click.

Archiving in Fareeqy hides a project from the main list and stops new content from being added — while keeping every piece of data readable and restorable. The right choice for projects that shipped, launches that wrapped, or clients that paused.

  1. Open the project you want to archive.
  2. Click the options menu (the top button next to the project name).
  3. Click "Archive project".
  4. A confirmation dialog explains that the project will disappear from the main list, the team won't be able to add new content, and you can restore it anytime.
  5. Click "Yes, archive the project" to confirm, or "Cancel" to back out.

What happens after archiving?

  • The project disappears from the main list and moves to the "Archive" tab.
  • A clear banner appears on the project page with the archive date.
  • The project card gets an "Archived" badge and a dimmed appearance in lists.
  • Your team can read everything — tasks, comments, files, discussions, and chat — but can't add new content.
  • The project is excluded from reports by default, with an "Include archived projects" toggle when needed.
  • The archive action is recorded in the project's activity log with your name and timestamp.

Note: Archived projects still count toward your plan's project limit. To free a slot, use delete project instead, or upgrade your plan.

Tip: Tip: archiving is reversible anytime. See How to restore an archived project.
