Go to the Messages area of your project and select the relevant message to view it.

When someone views an archived message, they will see a note at the top of the message.

Archiving a message prevents it from accepting any replies.
- If a person replies to a message notification via email and the message is archived, they will receive a message explaining that their reply has not been added to the message thread.
