Complete, archive, duplicate, or delete a checklist

Completing, archiving, duplicating, and deleting serve different purposes. Choose the action that matches what you need to keep.

Archive is not Trash

Archiving keeps the checklist. Deleting moves it to Trash for a limited recovery period. Delete Completed Tasks permanently removes completed steps from the checklist. Those tasks cannot be restored through Trash. Some other options require ownership or a paid plan.
