# How to Archive Projects

[Web Portal](https://app.docusketch.com/portal/) allows users to archive projects — hide them from the active projects list without deleting them.

**Note**: Archiving a project is not the same as [deleting a project](https://help.docusketch.com/docs/delete-projects).

To archive a project, locate it in your active projects list, click the "**More**" button on the project card, and select "**Archive**:"

A warning window will pop up. Click “**Archive**” to proceed (note that the timelines will also be archived):

To view your archived projects, click "**Show archived**" on the active projects page:

If you are using the Owner account or an Office account, you can also view archived projects of your employees. Go to the "**People**" tab in the top navigation bar, find the user you are interested in, click the **briefcase icon** and select "**Archived projects**:"

To move an archived project back to the active projects list, click the "**Move to active**" button on its card:

A warning window will pop up. Click “**Move**” to proceed:

**Note**: If an Employee account does not see the **"**Archive**"** option under the **"**More**"** button, it means they do not have permission to archive projects. They must contact the Owner or Office account holder to [request permission](https://help.docusketch.com/docs/managing-an-account-as-an-administrator-1#permissions).
