Archive, delete, and restore projects and items

Upbase lets you archive projects, delete items, and restore them later—so you can keep your workspace clean without losing important data.

Archive a project

If you’re no longer actively working on a project but want to keep it for reference, you can archive it.

Archiving a project:

  • Hides it from the sidebar
  • Does not delete any tasks, docs, files, or messages

How to archive a project

  1. Click the three-dot icon next to the project name.
  2. Select Archive.

The project will be hidden from the left sidebar.

View archived projects

To see archived projects:

  1. Hover over Projects in the sidebar.
  2. Click the three-dot icon.

Restore a project

To restore an archived project:

  1. Find the archived project.
  2. Click the three-dot icon next to it.
  3. Select Unarchive project.

The project will reappear in the sidebar.

Delete an item

You can delete individual items such as:

  • Tasks
  • Messages
  • Docs
  • Files
  • Links

Guests can only delete items they created

To delete an item:

  1. Click the three-dot icon on the item.
  2. Select Delete (usually at the bottom of the menu).

The item will be moved to Trash, not permanently deleted right away.
