Once an Epic status is "Done" what's the best method to archive the work?

Question

As we move through Epics across projects we'd like to retain the work to review over time and incorporate lessons learned.

Rather than just delete those completed Epics what is a recommended method to archive an Epic and ultimately a project as a whole...?

Hello @Alex Saunders

What exactly do you mean by "archive"?

Do you want the items to not be editable?

Do you want the items to still appear in filter results?

I got some help and have enabled the Epics panel where you can "Mark as done" and that seems to have more impact than just changing the status...I need to check that.

Also by altering "View settings" in Timeline to "Hide all completed Epics"

With these two settings changed the Epics are still searchable (as opposed to deleted) but don't appear on my Kanban or Timeline.

Thanks for asking @Trudy P Claspill
