Archive and delete project boards

If you have lots of projects from time to time you might think about getting rid of boards that you no longer use or need

If you think you might use the board again, or you want to keep it for future reference you can archive the board.

Archiving is not permanent and the project board can be restored at any time.


If you and your team are confident the project board will never be needed again, you can delete it.

Please note that deletion is permanent and once deleted it cannot be restored.
