What's Wrong?

I accidentally archived a project in Claude Desktop for Mac. The project now appears under the "Archived" filter in the sidebar, but there is no "Unarchive" option available (no right-click menu, no button, no settings). The only options in the filter dropdown are Active/Archived/All. I'd like to restore the project to active status without losing conversation history.

What Should Happen?

provide a solution to un-archive a project and continue working
