In this article, I will walk you through the steps of finding archived tasks in ClickUp and offer some personal tips and insights.
Why Archive Tasks?
Before diving into the details of finding archived tasks, let’s first understand why archiving tasks is important. Archiving allows you to declutter your task list without permanently deleting important information. It helps you prioritize current tasks while keeping a record of completed or less urgent ones. By archiving tasks, you can maintain a clean and organized workspace, making it easier to focus on what needs to be done.

- Once you’re in the project, look for the sidebar on the left-hand side of the screen. You will see a section called “Lists” that displays all the lists within the project.
- Click on the list where the archived task is most likely to be found.
- Now, take a look at the top right-hand corner of the screen. Locate the search bar and click on the magnifying glass icon next to it.
- A drop-down menu will appear. Select the option that says “Filters” to access the advanced search options.
- In the advanced search menu, scroll down until you find the “Status” section. Click on the “Status” dropdown menu.
- From the dropdown menu, choose the option that says “Archived” to filter the search results to only show archived tasks.
- After selecting “Archived,” you can further refine your search by adding keywords, tags, or any other relevant filters.
