Guide
Open the project that contains the epics that you want to archive.
Go to Backlog and click 'View settings' located at the right upper corner of your issues.
Under the 'View settings', enable the 'Epic panel' by clicking the slider.
Once the epic panel has been enabled, open the epic by clicking 'View all details'.
Change its status to 'Done'. This removes the epic from the active backlog and board views
By using these methods, you can effectively manage and archive epics in Jira, ensuring that only active and relevant work is visible to your team.
