How can I archive features?

The following capabilities are available on all Productboard plans.

 

Archiving a feature is useful when you want to remove it from sight without deleting it entirely, in case you want to revisit it at a later stage.

Relevant to both new and legacy boards

How to archive features

To archive features: 

  1. On any grid or features board, select one or more items.
  2. From the detail sidebar, click ••• More actions > Archive.
Note: Archiving selected features will also archive all underlying subfeatures. 

How to view and unarchive features

New boards and Legacy boards behave slightly differently when retrieving archived items.

New boards (grids, timelines, and columns boards

Relevant to new boards only

To view archived items on New boards:

  1. In the board's header, click Filter > Add filter.



  2. Set the filter target to the item type you wish to view. For example, if you're looking for archived features, choose Features.
  3. Set the filter condition to [item type] Archived. (Try typing "archive" into the condition search box).
  4. Select both "Archived" and "Unarchived" for your values. This will stop you from losing sight of your archived items when you unarchive them.
  5. Click Apply filters. 

     
  6. Your archived items will appear. Click one to open its details sidebar, then click Unarchive.

Legacy boards (features boards and roadmaps)

Relevant to Legacy boards only

To view archived items on Legacy boards:
