04Archived tasks are read-only#

An archived task opens read-only. A banner shows when it was archived and, if your workspace removes old archived tasks after a while, the date it will be deleted.

05Bring a task back#

Open the archived task and pick Unarchive Task. Taskift asks you to confirm, then the task goes back on the board.

Heads up Archived tasks may be deleted for good after your workspace's retention period. Unarchive anything you still need before then.
