Archive a model

We have several TW models in our SF that are “proof of concept”.
Some of these are put on hold for no one knows how long, and we might want to access them again in the future.
Is there a way to archive them without the automated cleanup deleting them after an x period of time?

We explored 2 routes:

  • export model - but that only works if imported in the same version of the software, which we cannot guarantee. Might be in 5 years or so…
  • archive branch - the automated cleanup will delete the branch after x days

Are there any other methods we have missed?

Hi ​@Alban_T 

At the moment, it is not possible to archive branches without them getting cleaned up.

It seems like a nice addition that you can exclude an archived branch from this process. Could you create an idea for this so we can see how many votes it will get?

Kind regards,
