What are the advantages of archiving old Jira projects?

Question

Hi Team,

I was wondering what the advantages of archiving project in Jira Cloud are apart from the hiding the old data. Are they any performance-based advantages? I know that in DC, it improves the reindexing process.

Thank you

Hi @bhanu_kumarin_ext ,

I believe it is exactly the same in cloud - performance. Also, issues are set as read only automatically and you don’t need to change the permission scheme.
