Can an archived project be restored?

[Maja Stanislawska]

Hi,

what would be a good way to fulfill the following requests:

1. An old Jira project should be archived. It is a classic project with quite a few customizations.

2. If there is an option to browse archived issues/bugs in CSV/Excel format, that would be an added benefit.

3. Possibly the current Jira account would be closed or converted to a dormant free version.

4. It should be possible to restore the project in the future, should the need arise.

I would appreciate your advise.

Hi Maja,

The quick answer is Yes, you can restore Archived projects in Jira Cloud. I have done this more than once.  :-)

I have not tried to browse issues on projects that have been archived - if you can't though, you can quickly restore the Project, do your search and review, and then archive the project again.

Thank you John!

Glad I could help!

Do restoring the project, restore the issues that are on the project as well?

or we need to restore the issues afterwards?
