How does one hide completed tasks from org mode?

[merlincorey]

Like many things in Software the question is why do you want to hide them?

One way to do it is to archive[0] it which will move it into a local _archive file.

Another way which I'm currently using is to periodically manually archive tasks into a tree of folders and files by date then category (and sometimes subcategory) which allows me to publish an HTML or PDF file of everything from say 2023 for a particular client.

Archive is an option, it'll move the heading and children into a new file. Agenda can also find and filter by state.

Perhaps to clarify: hide from where?

In org-journal, opening a new daily or weekly file only moves uncompleted tasks. It leaves completed tasks in the previous file.
