How do I archive and unarchive projects?
Introduction
Overleaf provides two folders to help organize your projects:
- Archived Projects: for projects you want to keep around (archive) but wish to remove from the main list in your project dashboard. Archived projects are not in a queue to be deleted.
- Trashed Projects: for projects you intend to delete permanently. For help on deleting projects see How do I remove or delete a project?
For more information see the Overleaf blog post on keeping projects organized.
