We have a few models that we are not actively using (mostly proof of concept) but want to preserve.
Currently if we archive branches they will be removed after an x amount of days.
This idea suggests an option to exclude a branch from the cleanup.

​@Alban_T Retaining archived branches is already supported by setting the Archived branch retention setting to Indefinitely.
 

 

We are not planning to support exceptions for specific branches. Why would you want to use the Archived state to ‘preserve’ such POC branches, and not simply leave the Branch open?

    ​@Remco apparently it’s already possible 😉
    ​@Arie V thanks for pointing that out, this idea was the result of another topic:
     

    BUT, does it also work for archiving a complete Model? Instead of a single branch?

    It is currently not possible to archive a complete model. You can only archive a branch.
