How To Stop Syncing Closed Items Without Archiving Them
When you close a synced work item, Unito archives it by default. You can stop that from happening with a function we call “On Filter Out Ignore.” Here’s how it works:
What happens when an item in sync is marked closed, complete, or otherwise done?
Section titled “What happens when an item in sync is marked closed, complete, or otherwise done?”Unito’s default setting is to archive synced work items in order to clear them from your to-do list, as well as stop them from counting towards your items in sync limit. For some, however, this can be inconvenient if they’d like to maintain visibility over completed items, perhaps so that others on their team can maintain visibility.
If you’d like to take work items out of sync while keeping them visible in a “completed” or “done” list, you can add an advanced option called “o**nFilterOut ignore**” to your Unito flows.
