This means you will be able to select whether you want to make a Portfolio private or public, and search for public Portfolios. This change will take place on November 26th. Some important things to keep it in mind: On Nov. 13th all Portfolios will have the option to be private or public. Today, you can share Portfolios at any time with your teammates in Asana or add them as Portfolio Members. On November 13th, a…

It doesn’t look like the feature currently exists, so it might be best to put this under product feedback.

Hi @Sam_Leahey, sorry for the trouble. Sara is correct, at this time it is not possible to archive a Portfolio, but I understand that this would be a very useful feature. If you don’t mind, I’m moving your topic to our Feedback section so you and other users can vote for this feature request. 🙂

So it sounds like the idea of a Portfolio is to be a permanent thing instead of having different Portfolios per time periods, correct?

Would really like to archive portfolios as well. We need to be able to hide archived projects from view in Portfolios and choose to exclude archived projects from weekly portfolio status emails. Our “projects” are really on-going operations efforts; therefore, Portfolios are crowded.

+1. We use portfolios for OKRs, would be great to archive them once the quarter is over.

We can’t use goals (we need the ability to comment on them and post rich status updates link on projects/portfolios), nor projects (can only contain tasks and subtasks → we need more than 3 levels for OKRs) for OKRs.

If others have found better solutions I’m all hears.

Oof, just realized this isn’t possible. I don’t want to delete my portfolio and lose all the updates. That would be such a waste. Please consider adding this soon!

Upvoting this here.  
We currently have so many legacy portfolios including OKRs from past years, and it’s really making our setup and searches messy.

Would also love the ability to archive a portfolio. Benefit to archiving projects is you can keep the sidebar clutter down. Please push this feature up on the list.

The ability to archive portfolio’s would be great as I want to receive weekly portfolio email updates but I don’t want to get one for my 2022 portfolio and I don’t see a way to avoid that without deleting it or archiving it (if archiving becomes a feature)
