How do I find archived action cards?

An easy search will show you archived action cards

Written by Ellen Kajca

When you archive an action card, Hive hides it from your project views. Hive does not delete the card. You can find the card and restore it at any time.

Archive an action card

  1. Open the action card.

  2. At the bottom of the right panel, click Archive.

The button changes to Archived and turns blue. The card no longer shows in your project views.

You can also right-click a card in a project view and select Archive.


Find an archived card by its title

  1. Click Search at the top of Hive.

  2. Type the card title or words from its description.

  3. Click the filter icon at the right of the search box.

  4. Turn on Archived.

Archived cards show an archive icon in the search results.


Show archived cards in a project

Use this when you know the project but not the card title. The steps are different in each view:

  • List view: Click Configure. In the Display section, select Archived actions.

  • Status, Label, Team and Calendar views: Click Configure. In the Filter section, select Show archived actions.

  • Table view: Click the Incomplete menu at the top right. Select Archived, then click Apply. The table then shows only archived cards.

Example 1: List view

Example 2: Table view

Gantt view cannot show archived cards.


Restore (unarchive) action cards

To restore one card: Open the card and click Archived. Or, in a view that shows archived cards, right-click the card and select Unarchive.

To restore many cards at the same time:

  1. Show archived cards in List view or Table view (see the steps above).

  2. Select the checkbox next to each card that you want to restore.

  3. In the bar at the bottom of the screen, click Unarchive.

Select only archived cards. If your selection also has cards that are not archived, the bar shows Archive instead of Unarchive.
