- To archive a project, click the "..." on the project dashboard next to a specific project and select "Archive".
- When you archive a project, it moves from the "My Projects" section of the project dashboard to the archived section.
- Archived projects are not deleted, and can be re-activated at any time by going to the archived project list and selecting "re-activate".
- Users who hold the "Admin" project access right for any ALICE Project can archive a project
