Flat has two locations for topics that are no longer being worked on: the archive and the trash.
The archive is where to put topics after they're completed. Each workspace has its own archive. Moving topics there helps keep your workspace uncluttered. Archived topics are still available in search and by viewing the workspace's archive.
The trash is for topics you don't expect to refer to again, like duplicates or ones that were created by mistake. Trashed topics aren't available in search, but they're still visible if you navigate to the topic's page directly.
