Project Archive

planned

I would like to be able to put projects into an "archive" area so that the sidebar is clean when trying to "copy to project".

Hey Jeremy Lechterman, we have introduced the notion of archiving to Dropbox storage (see video here https://capture.dropbox.com/KxZYZ06JqTzx6OZR) but hoping to understand more about the desired behavior here.

Do you want to be able to still open and click through the archived projects inside of Replay on a regular basis? What other actions would you want to take on the archived project (if any)?

Katie Ried: Hey Katie. So our source files which we upload to Replay already all exist in Dropbox. 
What I'd like to see is a function where I can archive an entire project, which would essentially remove it from the "Your Work" main view in replay, but doesn't delete the comments/versions/history of the project. I just moves the project to a folder called "Archive" where I can put non-active projects. This is mostly about cleaning up the "Your Work" view to only be active projects, and especially would clean up the sidebar when using "Copy to Project". 
Sometimes we need to bring a project back from the archive and make it active again, but if we just move the files to Dropbox Storage, we don't get to retain any of the data/comments/etc.
