What is an "archived" project or a project in a "muted" mode? How to change the status of a project?

Any tariff plan has a limitation by the number of active projects. At the same time, by no means, we limit the number of projects in your archive. After you are completely done with your work on a project, there is no need to delete it — just archive it, which, as a result, will empty the space for other active projects. If needed, you can always change the status of your archived project to the active one. Projects in the «muted» mode do not send email notifications, and their tasks are not seen in the newsfeed and in the list of user’s tasks. Invitations will be sent only after you activate the project. Also, a project in the «muted» mode can be used to сreate a «Template project». Besides, such projects are taken into account when the total number of the account’s projects is calculated.

In order to change the status of a project, go to the project’s settings in the Main menu:


In the right part of the «Project Name» field, choose the status of the project, «Archive» or Dormant«, and click on the «Update Project» button.

Why keep the archived projects?

Your Worsection account allows storing an unlimited number of archived projects. Right after you are completely done with the work on the projects, there is no need to delete it for good — just archive it. You and your clients can still access the projects pages, look through the tasks, comments, and download files. The only difference is that nothing can be created, edited, or deleted in the project when they are archived.

If you wish to renew the work on a project, then go to the «Projects» section and then go to the «Archive». Then find the project you need, and access it by clicking its name.


Then, click on «Activate project»:
