Archive can be used to "soft delete" a project. Doing this safely deactivates projects and removes them from view without permanently removing the code from Glitch.
Here are some things to keep in mind when archiving apps:
- Only the Project Owner can archive and un-archive a project.
- If you would like to permanently delete a project, please send us a support request and our team will do this for you.
When you archive a project:
- The app will not run.
- Others will not be able to see the app on Glitch or otherwise access it.
- You will be the only one who can un-archive it.
When you un-archive a project:
- The app will run if it is opened.
- The project will be viewable by all project members.
- If the project is public, others will be able to view the project's code on Glitch.
-
If the project is private, it will retain the permissions that you have set for others in the project permissions menu.
You can archive a project from either:
- The project editor
- Your dashboard
- The project page
Archiving a project via the project editor:
- In the project editor, click Settings.
- Scroll down until you see Archive This Project and give it a click.
- A confirmation will pop up asking you if this is the project you want to archive. If it is, go ahead and click OK.
Archiving a project via your dashboard:
- Go to your dashboard.
- Select the project that you would like to archive.
- At the top of the page, click Archive.
- The project now moves to the Archived view on your dashboard.
Archiving a project via the project page:
- Go to the project page which can be found using a URL like:
glitch.com/~project-name - Click Archive which can be found towards the top of the project page
Un-archiving a project
- Go to your dashboard.
- Next to the Projects header, click Archived to view the list of your archived projects.
- From the Archived view of your dashboard, select the app that you want to reactivate.
- Click Reactivate.
