Archive for Files/Projects

Would be so great to have one file that you can tag “ARCHIVE”, search will not search on it & thumbnail would be opacity 50%.

We would really benefit from the ability to archive projects. We don’t want to create a new team outside of our main one to do this, because multiple team members still need access to our archived projects. The Team is littered with dozens of projects due to our scale. Being able to hide them from view and access when necessary would be really helpful.

This would be fantastic. Our team also needs this at the Project level.

Agree.
Even custom sorting order would be a kind of a solution if that is easier to do.
Or tagging / filtering by tags.

It would be better to archive files in a Project folder to hide those deprecated files. That would clean out my project folders better.
If I want to search for those archived files, I could use a toggle (or a setting) to turn on/off and show/hide archives again.

Thanks.

Yah, I’d like to actually do this at a Project level. If I have a project that is over and all the stuff in it (could be one to many files) need to be archived, then I don’t want to have to manually archive each of the files individually. Instead, I’d like to just archive the full project (resulting in all the stuff within getting archived too.)

Furthermore, I’d like to just download a full project as a zip file containing all the fig files for each of the projects. If I could do that, then I can manage my zips on my own outside of the Figma construct (which is plenty flexible for me).

See Ability to “Archive” or “Download” all files in a Project request.

It’s wild to me that this feature doesn’t exist yet. Like many in here, my team’s organization is very bloated with work that is no longer relevant. I can’t archive them, so they take up tons of space in our dashboard. I can’t even batch export .fig files to store in a backup somewhere, so I would have to go through and manually export many many files. Not super awesome 😅

Same here, … I would really expect an option to archive files to declutter our workspace.

+1. This definitely needs to be a thing. Our studio Figma is so cluttered with old projects…

Hi All, our greatest need is to have a way to search and find assets in a branched archive file, and from what I have tested using Find plugins, etc., you can’t find anything in a archive branch (nor can you run a plugin when an archive is being viewed.
I was going to start the practice of branching by archiving annually and using that archive as a historical (searchable) record, but that won’t work for those reasons.
We don’t want to have to duplicate or restore an archive so we can search it, so we are back to creating a full file archive, cluttering up our workspace. So that being the case, I’m with y’all - this needs to be addressed. Cheers, Ben
