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

The project will be hidden from the left sidebar.

Delete an item
