What is the difference between "Archive" and "Close" for a Redmine project?

Created on 2023-02-03  •  KUROTANI Akihiro

For a Redmine project, "Archive" hides the project, and "Close" makes it read-only.

When you archive a Redmine project, it no longer appears on the project list page or in the project selector, and you can no longer view or update it.

When you close a Redmine project, you can still view its information, but you can no longer update it. If you close a completed project, you prevent the mistake of creating a new issue in it.
