As projects evolve, you may need to put work on hold or retire completed jobs. Raken lets you set each project to Active, Inactive, or Deleted so your project list stays organized and your dashboard stays clean.
Quick Answer

Log into the Raken Web App.
Click Projects and select the project.
Scroll down in the left side menu, click Settings, then select General.
In the Info section, find the Project State dropdown.
Select the desired state and click Save.
How to Change a Project's State on the Web
Step 1: Open Your Project
Log into the Raken Web App. Click Projects in the left side navigation bar and select the project you want to update.
Step 2: Open Project Settings
Scroll down in the left side menu and click Settings. Select General.
Step 3: Change the Project State
In the Info section near the bottom of the page, find the Project State dropdown. Select the state that applies:
Active — Projects you and your team are currently working on.
Inactive — Projects that are on hold or no longer being worked on.
Deleted — Projects that are complete or were created in error.
Step 4: Save
Click the Save button in the top right corner of the page.
Troubleshooting and FAQ
Will Inactive or Deleted projects still appear on my dashboard?
No. Inactive and Deleted projects are hidden from your project list and dashboard on both web and mobile. This keeps your active workspace focused.
Can I recover a Deleted project?
Yes. Change the Project State back to Active or Inactive at any time to restore visibility. Deleting a project in Raken does not permanently remove the data.
Does changing a project state affect existing reports?
No. All reports and data remain intact regardless of project state. The state setting only affects how the project appears in your project list and dashboard.

Considerations
Set completed projects to Deleted to keep your dashboard focused on active work.
Use Inactive for projects temporarily on hold—this preserves access and compliance records while removing the project from your daily view.
