Archiving projects and restoring archived items

PowerGrant archives instead of deleting. When a project wraps up, archive it — it disappears from your day-to-day views, but nothing is destroyed and everything can be restored.

Archive a project

1. Open Projects and find the project card.
2. Choose Archive from the project’s menu.
3. PowerGrant shows you exactly what will happen before you confirm: the project is archived, and knowledge-base documents that belong only to this project are archived with it.
4. Documents that are also linked to another active project are kept automatically — archiving one project never silently removes material a live project still uses. You can also choose to keep any individual document active from the same screen.

Restore a project

Scroll to the bottom of Projects and expand Archived projects. Click Unarchive and the project returns exactly as it was.

Restore an archived document

1. Open your Knowledge Base.
2. Click Archived to browse everything that’s been archived.
3. Click Restore on any document to bring it back into your active library.

Why archive instead of delete?

Grant writing is cyclical. The program you retire this year comes back in a funder’s next cycle, and the old application you’d have deleted is exactly the material you’ll want then. Archiving keeps your workspace clean without betting against your future self.
