How to find archived projects in Asana
Find archived projects in Asana by filtering the Projects page by Status, then open any archived project to review or reuse its work.
Quick answer
Open Projects from the left sidebar, then open the Status filter above the project list and choose Archived. Asana then lists your archived projects, and you can open any of them from that list. Archived projects stay out of the default view, so use this filter whenever you need one.
Steps at a glance
- Click Projects in the left sidebar.
- Open the Status filter above the project list.
- Choose Archived from the options.
- Look for your project in the filtered list.
- Click the project name to open it.

Summary
Archived projects drop out of the normal project list in Asana, but they are not gone. The Status filter on the Projects page brings them back so you can reopen finished work.
Step-by-step guide
Step 1
Open Projects
Click **Projects** in the left sidebar. This opens the list of projects in your workspace, with filters across the top.
Step 2
Open the Status filter
Click **Status** in the row of filters above the list, next to **Owner** and **Members**. A short menu of status options opens.
Step 3
Choose Archived
Pick **Archived** from the menu. The list now shows only archived projects, and an **Archived** filter chip appears above it so you can see what is applied.
Step 4
Open the archived project
Find the project you want in the filtered list and click its name to open it. Use **Remove** on the **Archived** chip to return to your usual project list.
Why this matters
You finished a project last quarter and now a teammate asks for the old task list or decisions. Filtering by archived status gets you back to that project in seconds, without asking anyone to rebuild it.
