# 5.3.3 Unarchive a project

The "Unarchive a project" feature in Onethread allows users to retrieve previously archived projects. Archived projects are stored in a separate section of the software and can be restored to the main projects list using this feature. 

### Use Case:

This is a useful tool for users who need to retrieve past projects or make changes after archiving them. 

By unarchiving a project, users can resume work on it as if it had never been archived. This feature helps users to keep their projects organized and easily accessible.

### Pre-conditions to use the Feature:

* Users **must have** an **account** in Onethread.
* Users must be a part of a company.
* Users must be **Super Admins/Admins** to use this feature..

### Steps to Use:

* **Select** an archived **project** from the Active **Projects** list of your company. 
* **Tick** it. The **unarchive button** will get **activated**. 
* **Click** the button.
* **Press Yes**.

### Important Notes:

* When your **projects** are **unarchived**, their **status** changes to **Ongoing**.

### Benefits:

* **Preventing Loss and Forgetting:**  Unarchiving a project when needed can ensure that important projects are not lost or forgotten.
* **Continued collaboration:** If a project was archived because it was temporarily on hold, unarchiving it can allow team members to pick up where they left off and continue collaborating on the project.
* **Increased flexibility:** The ability to unarchive a project gives users greater flexibility in managing their projects. Projects can be archived when they are no longer needed and unarchived when they are needed again.
