Use this interactive demo to learn how to find archived projects in Asana.

‍

Here’s how to find archived projects in Asana:

Go to the 'Search' bar and start typing the project you want to locate.
Once you have typed your archived project, hover your mouse to the search results.
Click the archived project and click on it.
By following these steps, you should be able to locate and manage your archived projects in Asana effectively.
If you need to reactivate an archived project, you can unarchive it by clicking 'Restore'.
The unarchive project will automatically appear in your 'Projects' menu.

📌 Why this matters

Archived projects contain valuable historical data, past decisions, and completed workflows that inform current work. You might need to reference old project structures, copy successful processes, or retrieve important files and conversations.

Teams often archive projects prematurely, thinking they're permanently done, only to realize later they need that context for similar initiatives. Having quick access to archived materials prevents you from recreating work that already exists and helps maintain institutional knowledge across your organization.
