# Archive and unarchive items

Archiving moves an item and every item under it into the archive. Archived work leaves every view, the timesheet and every total until someone unarchives it. The archive keeps it until someone unarchives or deletes it.

## Archive an item

- Open the item's **⋯** menu, or the menu in the item details, and choose **Archive**.
- With the item open, press `E`.
- To archive several items, select them and choose **Archive** in the selection bar.

If items under it leave too, Teamhood asks first. The question says how many items leave and how much tracked time leaves with them. Right after archiving, press `Ctrl-Z` or click **Undo** on the message to bring everything back.

## Find archived items

- **Settings → General → Archive** lists the archived work you may read. [Open in Teamhood](https://app.teamhood.com/go/settings/archive)
- Press `Ctrl+K` to search. Under **Search options**, tick **Include archive**.

An archived item opens read-only.

## Unarchive an item

On the **Archive** page, open the row's **⋯** menu and choose **Unarchive**. In an open archived item, click **Unarchive** on the banner. The item comes back where it was, with everything archived with it.

Archiving and unarchiving need permission to edit items of every type that moves.
