1. How to archive a Kanban board?
You have to be assigned to a board and have the Account Owner or Workspace Manager role for it, in order to be able to archive it from your dashboard.
Select the board settings (the three dots icon) of the respective board and click "Archive".
When you archive the board, it will be no longer visible on your dashboard.
All archived boards are stored in the Archived Workspaces and Boards panel in your account.
Note: When users archive a Kanban board, the system notifies them if there are any unfinished cards within it. All cards located in the "Backlog", "Requested" and "In Progress" sections are considered as not finished.
To access the "Archived Workspaces and Boards panel" go to the Home Dashboard of your account and select the third button in the video below: "Show Archived Workspaces and Boards".
The dedicated panel stores all boards that you have archived in a Table format.
It presents the following information per board: Workspace name, Board name, Archived by, and Archived at.
