2. Select Archive/Trash

The page contains the following information:

• Name of the archived entity
• Type of the entity (Board, Item group, Item)
• Archived by
• Archived from
• Archived date

The content of the page can be searched and filtered by the above mentioned criteria.

Accessing the Archive from the Board menu filters the page content to display archived content specific to the selected Board.

Each user sees only what he would be allowed to see if those items, item groups or boards were restored.

Actions on archived content #

On the Archive page you can View, Restore or Move to trash the archived content. To perform those actions, follow these steps:

View #

1. Click on three dots at the right side of the archived entity on the Archive page
2. Select View

It is possible to view only archived Boards and Items. View option will display an archived Board/Item as if it were not archived, accompanied by an alert indicating that the entity is archived.

Restore #

1. Click on three dots at the right side of the archived entity on the Archive page
2. Select Restore

Restore is available for Item groups only if the Board they belong to is not also archived or deleted. For Items it is available if their Board is not also archived or deleted, and if their item group is not permanently deleted.

Restore always returns the previous state: e.g. let’s say you archive one item group from the board, afterwards you archive the whole board: restoring back the board would not restore the item group and its content that was previously archived. 

Move to trash #

1. Click on three dots at the right side of the archived entity on the Archive page
2. Select Move to trash
