Archiving

When documents are no longer actively needed in the document vault, they can be archived. For example, the system administrator can store all documents marked for archiving by users in a separate archive file, from which they can also be restored to active use.

Mark for archiving

You can specify objects to be archived by selecting them in the listing area, right-clicking one of them, and then selecting Archiving > Mark for Archiving from the context menu. The archiving operation performed via M-Files Admin moves the marked objects from the vault to a separate archive file. For more information, see Archiving Old Versions.

Clear Archiving Marker

You can remove the archiving marker of the selected object by right-clicking it and selecting Archiving > Clear Archiving Marker from the context menu.
