Cards in Kanban Zone can be archived or unarchived. An archived card will be removed from the board, but can still be opened and recovered. There are 3 ways to archive a card.

1. Open the card by clicking on it.
2. Click the Archive button (from the Card Actions toolbar).
3. It will ask for your confirmation. Click ‘Archive’ to continue archiving it, or ‘Cancel’.

2. Drag and drop the card in the ‘Archive’ column at the end of the board.

Auto-Archive Cards in "Done" Column

2. Click the ellipsis icon (three dots) in the top-right corner to open the column menu.
   
   
   
3. Select “Archive After 90 Days…” (or whatever the current setting shows).

5. To disable auto-archiving entirely, select “Never.”

All of the archived cards can be found in the ‘Archived’ column at the end of the board.

2. Add the ‘Done Week/Year’ or ‘Done Month/Year’ by clicking on ‘Columns’ on the right side of the screen, then select the column.
