Remove Duplicate Projects

Filevine projects cannot be deleted; however, they can be archived. Archived projects will not appear in your search results or on your reports unless specifically requested. So, if you accidentally created a duplicate project, simply archive it.

What if I want to run a report that includes Archived projects but not duplicate projects?

You can use hashtags in Filevine to better categorize your projects. If you label each duplicate project with “#duplicate”, you can then run a report on all projects that do not contain this hashtag.

To add a hashtag, go to the projects page and select “Add Hashtag” located in the upper right-hand corner of your screen.​

When creating your report, add criteria on the third tab, “How do you want to limit the list?” (For the basics on creating your reports, please see Build a Report.)

First, go to the drop-down menu for “Include Archived Projects” and select “yes.” Then, you will then want to add a second criteria item. Go to “Project Hashtags,” using the drop-down menu to select “does not contain,” and enter in “duplicate”.​

Your report should now include all archived projects that are not labeled as “#duplicate.”
