Archived tasks

When a task is completed, it remains visible in task lists (both in the project functions sidebar and on the user dashboard), but it can no longer be actively worked on.

At this stage, additional management options become available:

These options allow users to either remove the task from active lists or return it back to an inactive state.

Reopen a task​

Reopening a task returns it to an inactive state.

  • The task becomes workable again
  • It can be assigned and worked on as usual
  • All existing data remains unchanged

This is useful when a task was marked as completed but requires further work.

Archive a task​

Archiving a task removes it from active task lists without permanently deleting it.

  • The task is no longer visible in standard task lists
  • All data is preserved
  • The task can be accessed later if needed

This helps keep the task lists clean while still retaining completed work for reference.

Archive a task (step-by-step)​

To archive a completed task:

  1. Locate the completed task in any task list (project functions sidebar or the user dashboard)
  2. Click the Edit button next to the task
  3. Click the Archive button
  4. The task is removed from active task lists

View archived tasks​

Archived tasks are project-specific and can only be accessed within the project.

To view archived tasks:

  1. Open the Tasks tab in the project functions sidebar
  2. Click the Archived tasks button
  3. The Archived tasks list will open

This list functions similarly to the standard task list but contains only archived tasks.

Interact with an archived task​

To open an archived task:

  1. Navigate to the Archived tasks list
  2. Click on a task

The task detail view will open.

Archived task UI​

The UI of an archived task is similar to that of a completed task, with one key difference:

  • The Archive and Reopen options are replaced with a single option:

Unarchive a task​

Unarchiving restores the task back to the active task list.

To unarchive a task:

  1. Open the task from the Archived tasks list
  2. Click the Unarchive button
  3. The task returns to the standard task list and can be managed again

This system ensures that completed tasks can be cleanly organized, while still remaining accessible and recoverable when needed.
