However, what should you do if you mistakenly archive a board or card? There’s no need to fret, as this guide will demonstrate how to unarchive in Trello effectively.
What does Archiving mean in Trello?
Archiving in Trello allows you to clear up your workspace by removing items you don’t currently need, without permanently deleting them. This means you can restore them at any time, which is especially useful if you need to refer back to them or need them again.
How to Unarchive a Card in Trello
Unarchiving a card in Trello is simple and straightforward. Just follow these steps:
- Open the board that contains the archived card.
- Click on the ‘Show menu’ button on the top right corner of the board. The board menu will open.
- Click on ‘More’ and then on ‘Archived Items’.
- A list of archived cards and boards will appear. Find the card you want to unarchive and click on it.
- In the card’s menu, click on ‘Send to Board’. The card will be unarchived and sent back to the board.
How to Unarchive a Board in Trello
If you’ve archived a whole board, you can unarchive it by following these steps:
- Click on your profile icon on the top right corner of the Trello homepage.
- In the drop-down menu, click on ‘See closed boards’
- A list of your closed (archived) boards will appear. Find the board you want to unarchive and click on it.

So, as you can see, unarchiving in Trello is a breeze once you know where to look. With these steps in mind, you can confidently archive and unarchive cards and boards, knowing that you can always bring them back when you need them.
