Projects can be edited or deleted.
The list of projects can be sorted by:

A user can choose to hide or show archived projects in the list.
In the Filter by name field, type the project name you want to find, and GitLab will filter them as you type.
Select from the Namespace dropdown to filter only projects in that namespace.
You can combine the filter options. For example, to list only public projects with score
