Problem or use case

My archive list is getting unmanagable.

• hard to find projects in the archive list when it's really long (they're sorted in order of adding, not alphabetically or anything)
• hard to find specific conversations for a project

Proposed solution

I would recommend making it a 2 tier list eg first pick project then conversation. make both lists search/filterable.

Generally i'm after recently archived conversations, so could also be something as simple as changing it to a flat list (not grouped by projects) and let me sort/filter it.

Why this matters

anyone who accidentally archives a conversation and has a long list (more users over time)

Smallest useful scope

filter at the top of the list to let me filter to a specific project

+1 - also and option to sort by last archive date be great those recently archived convos could be right at the top of the list

I already made a PR to fix some of these concerns
#2758

[lastobelus]

I opened #7282 to address the "smallest useful scope"

It adds a Archive / Project breadcrumb at the top, similar to the project settings breadcrumb, where Project defaults to All, and is a dropdown that let's you choose an individual project.

Adding my use case. I keep a lot of threads in the archive and go back to them often, so for me it is where I find old work, not a legacy feature. With five projects the page is one long flat list and the project I want is usually at the bottom, so I scroll past everything every time.

What would help most: keep the grouping by project, but make each project a collapsed section by default with a small open/close animation, so the page starts as a short list of project headers and I expand only the one I need. The project crumb from #10639 helps, and #7387 looks close to this. Happy to test a build or a PR.
