Archive and unarchive a Doc

While archived Docs are hidden automatically, they are saved so you can find them later.

Unarchiving a Doc restores it to the locations where the Doc was previously shared. If the entire location has been archived, it will need to be unarchived before any Docs are restored. 

You can also archive individual pages within a Doc.

What you'll need

  • Archiving Docs is available on every ClickUp Plan.

  • Anyone, including guests, with Edit permissions can archive and unarchive Docs.
