Use the archive_project command to compress your entire project into a ZIP file. This command offers options for storing sources and run results.

Vivado copies the entire project into memory, then writes the ZIP file to disk, leaving the original project intact. The command also includes any remote source in the archive.

Archiving is useful for sharing your design or storing it as a self‑contained entity. Include your vivado_init.tcl file if it sets parameters or variables affecting the design.
