How do I complete or archive a task?

Tick a task off when the work is done, or archive it to clear it out of the active board without deleting its history.

Marking a task complete

1. Open the task, or use the checkbox next to it in list or Kanban view.
2. Mark it as done. Depending on your workspace's sections, this may move it into a "Done" column automatically.
3. Completed tasks stay visible (often with a filter to show/hide them) so you can still find and reference them later.

Archiving a task

1. Open the task and choose Archive from its menu.
2. Archived tasks drop out of the default active views, keeping your board focused on current work.
3. To bring one back, find it under the archived filter and choose Unarchive — it returns to its previous section with its full history intact.

Auto-archive completed tasks

Owners and admins can open Settings → Task Settings on the web and turn on Auto-archive completed tasks. Choose Archive after 7 days or 30 days. This is off until an admin saves it — turning it on archives completed tasks on the next nightly run.

Tips

• Archiving is for tasks you don't need to see day-to-day but might reference later — it's not deletion.
• Completed and archived are independent: a task can be marked done and still sit in the active board until you archive it.
