Perhaps, you have finished a bunch of projects but can’t figure out how to store them out of sight.  Let me show you a few simple steps on how to archive projects on Mac.

ARCHIVE AND RESTORE PROJECTS

There are 2 ways to achieve this on Mac:

FIRST OPTION: ARCHIVE BY ” ARCHIVED” TAG

1.) To archive/store a project by the “Archived” tag, first, select the project you wish to archive.  After, head over to the tag bar under “Project Details”.

3.) If your project does not automatically disappear, you can go to your avatar account drop down menu in the top right corner, select “Sign in/Sync Now”, and force a sync now.  After this, your project should be “Archived” or stored.
