Putting a project on hold

If you’re not quite sure whether you want to start (or continue) a project, you can put it on ice for a while. It disappears from your Active list in the sidebar, and its actions likewise stay hidden. Every now and then, you can set the project filter in the view bar to show On Hold projects (or All Projects), and review which ones you’d like to make active, which ones you’d like to drop, and which ones you’d like to keep on hold.

There are several ways to put a project on hold:

Select the project in the main outline, then use the Status control in the inspector to choose On Hold.

Select the project in the sidebar, then choose On Hold from the gear menu at the bottom of the sidebar.

Right-click or Control-click the project in the main outline or in the sidebar, then choose On Hold from the contextual menu.

To make an on-hold project active again:

Choose On Hold from the view bar’s project filter pop-up menu.

Find the project, then use one of the same techniques as above to set the project’s status back to Active.
