Archive or restore a goal

Hide a goal you no longer need without losing its history, find archived goals, and restore them.

Last updated Nov 10, 2026

Archiving hides a goal from every view, rollup and report, and keeps its history. You can restore it at any time.

Who can do this: anyone who can delete the goal. See Roles and permissions.

Archive a goal #

  1. Open the goal's ⋯ menu and choose Archive Goal (Archive Metric, Archive Project).
  2. If it has sub-goals, leave Also archive sub-goals on to archive them too. Turn it off to keep them active.
  3. Click Archive.
The Archive Goal confirmation with its Also archive sub-goals switch, Cancel and Archive.
Success check
The goal leaves the list, and its parent's progress recalculates without it.

Find and restore an archived goal #

  1. Above the goal list, expand Filters and switch on Show archived. Archived goals show dimmed, with an Archived badge.
  2. Open the goal's ⋯ menu and choose Unarchive Goal.

The goal comes back with its sub-goals and any archived parents above it.
