The following conditions must be met to archive a folder: - If a folder contains at least one active project inside it or any of its subfolders, then it will be visible, together with all of its subfolders. In other words: - If a folder and all of its subfolders do not contain any active projects, it is archived together with the last active project. - This applies only to main folders (the first-level folders). - Subfolders are only archived together with the main folders * * * ## Save your favorite projects You now can **bookmark your favorite projects** to be able to find them quickly and access them right away!
