CupixWorks 5.0 — this article is still being finished. Screenshots marked to be replaced show the right screens and will be retaken before launch. Taken in a support session, so the top of the screen shows a bar you will not see. Taken on an internal test system, so the address and team name are not the ones you will see.
Why archiving sits with licensing
Archiving a project returns its area to the license. That is the reason people do it, and the reason it is documented here rather than beside the other project settings.
When you archive, three numbers move together: the space meter, the team usage figure and the workspace row total. IA5-SET-AC-38 is explicit that they have to — somebody archives in order to watch a number go down.
Archiving is not deleting
This is the sentence to take away. Archiving is a capacity and visibility change, not a deletion. Nothing is sent to Trash, nothing is purged, and every capture, note and design file is intact when the project is activated again.
Where you can archive, and where you can bring it back
Archiving is reachable from two places — the license allocation table and the project detail panel — and both perform the same state transition: active to archived. It is not a license-specific status.
Coming back is not symmetrical. IA5-SET-AC-38 notes that the license page is currently the only route back.
An archived project everywhere else
The project reads as archived across the product: on the Workspace Projects cards, in the Active / Archived filter, and in the workspace project count.
