There needs to be a way to export archived lists in a space. Currently there is no way to see all archived lists. The only way to see an archived list is in the website, as 'italic' list names in the sidebar. This is not enough - if we need to see all our completed tasks, but want to clean up our sidebar to only show active lists, the archive feature seems useless.

Here is my chat with the Clickup AI confirming that archiving seems useless:

Me:

Can you export a space in an excel and does this include archived lists?

Clickup AI:

Yes, you can export data from a Space in ClickUp to an Excel file. This includes the ability to export List and Table views. However, please note that collapsed groups, which may include archived lists, are not included in the export.

To export a List or Table view:

Navigate to the List or Table view you want to export.

In the upper-right corner of your List or Table view, click Customize.

Click Export.

Choose What To Export and your File Format.

Click Download.

If you need further assistance or have more questions, feel free to ask!

Me:

How can you included collapsed groups automatically?

Clickup AI:

Currently, ClickUp does not support the automatic inclusion of collapsed groups in exports. When you export a List or Table view, collapsed groups are not included in the export. If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to let me know!

Me:

So are you saying there is no way to export archived lists??

Clickup AI:

You can export data from a ClickUp Space, but archived lists are not automatically included in the export. When exporting, only the active lists and tasks are included. If you need to include archived lists, you would need to unarchive them before exporting. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
