Archiving Forms

I couldn't find any post so far on here that discusses this, so I am posting it. We have an app that is over 10 years old. One table in particular has over 100 forms, most of which are no longer in use. We have needed to keep the previous forms for any older data depending on a set of criteria. Over time, they have become unnecessary. I would like to delete some of these forms, since they only take up space and can confuse any new admin that decides to take a peek, but before I do so, I want some way to archive them should we need to re-open them at a later date. Is there any Quickbase native way of doing this? I do not need to keep the record data, but the actual set up of the form, the fields and its form rules. 

The only thing I can think of at this point is to screenshot the form and each one of the form rules.

Ugly though it may be, I suggest that you name your forms with a prefix like Active and |Archived and live with the clutter.  The | will sort last.

Train Admins to sort the forms alpha by clicking the name column and the Active forms will float to the top real quick.
