Hide (Archive) completed Buckets

When completing Buckets it would be nice to be able to hide them so they don't take up space, but you still keep them in the statistics.

    Related to Archiving buckets: how about the ability to select a number of buckets and export them into a separate Plan, so that we could export all buckets from last year as the 2020 Plan archive and then delete them from the active Planner plan?

    A way to set a bucket to "Archive" or otherwise hide buckets is critical. We complete a dozen Campaigns (buckets) a month and the completed items scroll off to the right. We should have a way to archive or hide
    -- completed buckets, or
    -- buckets without changes over a certain age, or
    -- buckets with zero tasks due, or
    -- buckets by date (last year?), or
    -- buckets we select as "Archived."
    A filter to display archived buckets, especially with options to display them by year or age, would be helpful. Plus, as others have said, having to drag a bucket across dozens or hundreds of bucket columns is extremely poor UI design.

    The ability to archive buckets (and plans for that matter) would be extremely helpful in keeping things clean and uncluttered. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

    WE NEED THIS ASAP!!!!!! And some way to sort the buckets. It's crazy you can sort alphabetically, chronologically... nothing! Very clunky interface.... PLEASE HELP!!!!

    Agree. The archive buckets feature should be added just like you can do in Trello, Basecamp, Asana, etc. Projects end but you don't want to lose history so you need a feature like this to keep Planner clean by archiving.

    Yes please! I need to have access to buckets after they have been completed without having to see them all the time.

    This makes long term sprint planning extremely unwieldy and wasteful of time, especially as creating new buckets has to be done to the far right of all other existing buckets, and there is no ability to move a bucket quickly to another position. You have to drag it through all the old buckets and due to the width taken up by each bucket, this can take multiple attempts to get a new bucket all the way to the left. Ridiculous design.

    Not only is it a pain to have to scroll past all of the finished buckets, we've run out of space in one of the plans. Without an archive feature, I'm having to copy the manifest and major tasks from a bucket to a Word document for future reference and then delete the bucket. It would be nice if there was a way to archive the bucket to my local hard drive or Cloud drive. Planner is a nice tool but needs to be updated to make it more efficient.

    Why is this not already in the functionality, Surely MS needs to make this happen

    Yes please! We want to be able to keep the record of what has been done without the mess.

    I considered using Planner for a new project management process I'm developing, but without the ability to archive buckets to would be way too messy to use.

    We need to be able to archive the buckets so we can keep a record of what we have done. Please can this be added ASAP!

    If the developers could watch users try to use the product, they'd realize how much we need the ability to hide (archive) buckets.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    If this feature is not added, it doesn't make sense to use Planner.
    Having thousands of tasks completed without any organization.

    Allow to archive buckets, just to track history but that don't appear once archived.

    Gotta do it!
    One week into using this platform and I'm already looking back at Trello
