# How do I archive and unarchive projects?

## Introduction

Overleaf provides two folders to help organize your projects:

* **Archived Projects**: for projects you want to keep around (archive) but wish to remove from the main list in your project dashboard. Archived projects are *not* in a queue to be deleted.
* **Trashed Projects**: for projects you intend to delete permanently. For help on deleting projects see [How do I remove or delete a project?](/latex/knowledge-base/059-how-do-i-remove-or-delete-a-project.md)

For more information see the Overleaf blog post on [keeping projects organized](https://www.overleaf.com/blog/new-feature-using-archive-and-trash-to-keep-your-projects-organized).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://overleaf-pro.ayaka.space/latex/knowledge-base/053-how-do-i-archive-and-unarchive-projects.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
