Manual archive a file or folder
- Armin Franke
Manual archiving is not required when automatic archiving is configured for the SharePoint web site by site administrator.
Select the document or folder to be archived
From context menu (open it by right-mouse-button-click) select Archive
Now an information popup informs about the action the system prepares.
In case, a document selected has already been archived, the archiving action for it is not executed.
Configuration by web site administrator can exclude types of documents by file extension from archiving.
Click on Archive to approve the suggested actions, respectively Cancel to stop the process.
When continuing the archiving, a dialog box opens to indicate the system is archiving in the background. Wait or close the dialogue box as you wish.
After the process of archiving is complete, the column Status of the document is updated with its archiving status.
