Archive Tasks
Showing completed tasks at the bottom of each bucket isn't very helpful when the list of completed tasks is enormous. If Search functionality for Tasks can be added and cards can be archived, that cleans up the buckets and keeps all of the pertinent information at the forefront. If I want to look for a completed task, searching by text makes the most sense to me rather than digging through a list of completed tasks until I find the right one in one of several possible buckets.

Either an archive bucket or a kind of auto deletion of the long ago (user could set timing) completed tasks would be wonderful!

Yes, would be extremely useful!

I agree, we complete tasks but run them through a vetting process before they are archived. I currently see no way to archive a task.

I agree, my team just transitioned to moving their work into Planner using a Kan-ban structure - it is manageable now but in a couple of months I know that the reporting, charts, and just sheer visibility of it will be difficult

Need to be able to archive tasks, preferably in releases that could be browsed through later if necessary.

Planner would be the perfect tool for us if it were possible to archive certain tasks. That is, we need to hide them from view, say, on the kanban, without actually deleting them.

Currently there is only the option to delete or complete a task. The reason for archiving a task would be to save the task from last year and start with a new clean Plan for the year without the need to create a new plan. Another reason could be because a task is pending for a long and might be cancelled, therefore I would like to hide it from the active list and I want to retrieve it when needed. It cannot be set to complete as it is not actually completed. This would help to stay organized and keep a clean dashboard. archiving a complete bucket or plan would be nice, but my actual need is to be able to archive the task.

How can an auditor be shown that everything is done?

This is desperately needed. Please add this functionality. The completed tasks pile up in the group by progess section and its hard to find a completed task if we need to.

Better yet to be able to archive a complete bucket. Then I could archive a whole bunch of tasks in the same go :)

We are finding that Planner has slowed down due to the number of tasks. Archiving would help clean-up and return some performance to the online app.

It would be great if that comes and if it possible to anonymize tasks in that status too.

Yes, the completed tasks should be archived at least after 30 days. In our work environment, no one has had to go back and retrieve a completed task. We have other areas that we are able to retrieve what we need. We use Planner to stay on task and for execution purposes.

I like the idea of archiving a task like Trello would do. Then it stops taking up screen space and "goes somewhere". You might want to reference it in the future so you don't really want to delete it.

The completed buckets stay visible and take up the space. The completed buckets schould move to a archive.

Being able to archive tasks into a general archived folder in each plan,
Reason No.1 So that the rings in the planner hub don´t show 100s of completed task that accumulate over time,
Reason No. 2 To have the conversations and information that has been posted to the tasks backed up.
Reason No. 3 It can work as a doble check for the plan administrator or task asigner to see if the task is really done
