The project is emptied before it goes. What happens to its contents is your call:

| `contents` | Resources you own               | Resources a teammate owns       |
| ---------- | ------------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| `archive`  | Taken down with the project.    | Released to the workspace root. |
| `release`  | Released to the workspace root. | Released to the workspace root. |

Taking down a teammate's resource is an owner action on each resource, so theirs are always released.
