Archive just completed cards

Hi, 

I love that the lists are now check lists so it's easier to mark a card as completed (previously I had a 'done' label to add), but I want to archive the completed cards.  I use Trello for personal tasks like shopping so tick off items randomly in the list.  I don't want to archive them individually or move the cards to another list that I can archive as that adds extra steps and these kind of apps are supposed to make life easier.  On the ... menu for the list there is only an option to archive all cards or the full list so how can I archive just the completed cards?

TIA

You can set an automation rule to archive whenever a card is completed

Hi @Louise Rutland  ,

As Gaurav mentioned, this can indeed be achieved through automation. Please refer to the attached screenshot for an example of what the automation rule should look like.
