Quick summary
Archiving epics in Jira keeps your backlog clean by hiding completed work from active board and backlog views. You can effectively archive an epic by enabling the Epic Panel, opening the epic details, and setting its status to Done.
Steps
- Open the project in Jira that contains the epics you want to archive.
- Navigate to the Backlog and click 'View settings' located in the upper-right corner of your issues list.
- Under View settings, enable the 'Epic panel' by clicking the toggle slider.
- Once the Epic panel is enabled, open the epic by clicking 'View all details'.
- Change the epic's status to 'Done' to remove it from the active backlog and board views.
- Use these methods to effectively manage and archive epics in Jira, ensuring only active and relevant work is visible to your team.
