This article answers the following questions:


What does it mean when I archive a project?

When you archive a project, you put it aside with the possibility to recover it. You can compare it to putting a file in a file cabinet; the chances are slim that you still need the file, but you don’t want to throw it away just yet. In Fortes Change Cloud you can do the same with a project or with a portfolio, or with a portfolio- or project-item. This way you can archive an item, but you can always restore it.

It is also possible to delete a project, portfolio of item permanently. If you do this, you cannot restore it! You should be absolutely sure before doing this.
