  • Can't find an action card that you're sure you used to be able to see in your project?

  • Or, did you archive an action card and are not sure where to find it?

Here's how you can locate these archived action cards.


An action card is archived by clicking on the file box icon on the bottom:

Once archived, the file box icon turns blue, and the card is 'filed away' from all views unless specifically called back.

Alternatively, you can also right click on an action card to archive it quickly when you are viewing your project in one of the Kanban views (Status, Label, Team)

You can also view the archived actions in the Table View Layout! Simply go to the Incomplete dropdown and select Archived! (See image) Another way to locate archived cards is through the Status View. Open the Status View in your workspace and enable the Archived Actions Filter, which will display all archived cards.


Looking for an archived card & you know the title? Try Searching

In the top search bar, search the title or keywords from the action card description and check the 'Archived' toggle. Ensure the appropriate filters are enabled to include archived cards in your search results.


Don't recall the action card title but you know the project? Try the 'show archived' option in the project.

From within the project in Status, Team or Label layout, click 'Configure' then click the checkbox for 'Show archived actions.'

This will instantly surface any archived action cards in the project, and they are obviously denoted with the file box icon.

Restoring Archived Action Cards

Hive allows you to restore archived action cards individually. To do this:

  1. Open the Table View and ensure it includes archived actions by adjusting the filter settings.

  2. Locate the specific action card you want to restore.

  3. Unarchive the card by selecting the appropriate option.

Limitations and Tips

  • Currently, Hive does not support mass unarchiving, so plan carefully when archiving multiple actions at once.

  • Always double-check your workspace and filter settings to ensure archived tasks are visible. Effective use of filters can save time when searching for specific action cards.
