# Archive Project

> Soft-delete a project and restore it from the Archive.

Archiving a project removes it from your active **Projects** list without destroying the project's pages, widgets, or settings. When you archive a project, Oviond also archives everything under it — pages, widgets, and automations. You can restore the project from the [Archive](/archive/view) at any time.

## Archive a project

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the project menu">
    From the client's **Projects** tab, open the three-dot menu on the project card, or open the project and use its header menu.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose Delete">
    The project disappears from the active list and moves to the [Archive](/archive/view), along with its pages, widgets, and automations.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Restore

From the Archive, find the project, click **Restore**, and it reappears under its original client with all pages and widgets intact.

<Note>
  Archiving a client also archives every project under it. Restoring the client restores those projects too.
</Note>

## Permanent delete

Archived projects stay in the Archive until you permanently delete them — there's no automatic time-based purge. Permanent deletion is **admin-only** and is irreversible. Export anything you need first.
