How to restore an archived project

Permission: Owner or Manager

Bring any archived project back to your active list in one click. No loss, no waiting — everything exactly as you left it.

Restoring brings the project back to the active list instantly, with writing re-enabled — and with every task, file, comment, discussion, and chat message exactly as it was before archiving.

Method 1: from the Archive tab

  1. From the top navigation, pick "Projects".
  2. Click the "Archive" tab — you'll find every archived project here.
  3. Hover the card of the project you want to restore so the action buttons appear.
  4. Click "Restore project".
  5. The project returns to the active list immediately, and your team can write on it again as if nothing happened.

Method 2: from inside the project itself

  1. Open the archived project (via its direct link, or from the Archive tab).
  2. At the top of the page, you'll see a clear banner telling you the project is archived, with a "Restore project" button.
  3. Click the button — the banner disappears, and the project is active again instantly.

After restoring

  • You and your team can add tasks, task lists, files, comments, and messages again.
  • The project reappears in default reports automatically.
  • The restore action is recorded in the project's activity log with the actor's name and timestamp.

Note: Restoring is available to the owner and managers only. Team members can see archived projects but can't restore them.
