Document Archive

Overview

Archiving documents helps the Projects page load faster, allows project managers within your organization to keep their active documents organized, and stores valuable information about a document long after it has been completed.

Documents that are in a completed state (complete, late, or canceled) in the TMS can be archived manually or they can simply be ignored, depending on your preference. The system archives documents six months after completion.

Archiving removes all information about a document, including target versions of the document, from all our applications and stores it in the Archive within the project. To view archived documents, or to download target versions of the document, navigate to the Archive tab in the Project.

System Archiving

When your community is set up for document archiving (done by Enterprise), completed documents will be automatically archived after a certain period of time. This time period depends on your community type. Please email support@lingotek.com for more information.
