Archive or delete a task

Archiving hides a task from your day-to-day views and keeps everything about it. Deleting removes it for good.

Before you start

• To archive, you need to have created the task, created or lead its project, or be a manager or admin.
• To delete, you need permission to delete tasks (admins by default). Otherwise you can delete a task you created, as long as it has no logged time and no comments.

Archive a task

1. Open the task.
2. Click Archive at the bottom of the drawer.

Bring an archived task back

1. Open My Tasks and choose List.
2. Click the Archived tab.
3. Open the task and click Unarchive.

Delete a task

Deleting can't be undone. Archive when in doubt.

1. Open the task and click Delete at the bottom of the drawer.
2. Click Delete to confirm.

What happens next

• Archived: the task leaves My Tasks, the calendar, workload and due-date reminders. Logged time stays in reports. Nobody is notified.
• Deleted: the task, its comments and its history are removed. Time already logged is kept on the Time tracking page, under its note or "Untitled task".

Good to know

• Delete only shows if you are allowed to delete that task.
• Archived tasks are still listed on the project's Tasks board and Timeline.
• The Archived tab in My Tasks only lists tasks assigned to you.
