New Archive Support & Download Feature

What’s New: Download Archived Files On Demand

This release introduces a new Archive Restore feature that allows you to retrieve for download files that have been archived due to storage policies—without needing admin intervention.

What this means for you

• You can access and download archived files anytime
• You’ll see clear download progress updates during the restore process
• You’ll receive notifications when files are ready to download
• The experience is fully integrated into the existing download workflow

How to Restore an Archived File

Step 1: Find your file

Navigate to your package, project, or asset as usual.

Step 2: Initiate a download

• Select individual assets or a cross selection. For all assets in a package or group, skip this step.
• Open the download panel by selecting the download icon.
• Choose to download to a drive or to Box.

Step 3: Messaging confirmation

• When assets have been archived, you’ll see a message indicating that the asset(s) need to be retrieved and are not immediately available.

• For a mixed download where assets are both archived and active, messaging will apply to the archived assets only.

  • Active assets will download immediately.

• In app messaging will alert the user that assets are being pulled from the archive

Step 4: Wait for retrieval

• The system begins restoring the file from archive storage

• You’ll see progress/status updates in the UI

• You’ll also receive an email notification indicating that your download has initiated and that you'll be notified when the assets are retrieved and ready for download

• Email notification messaging explains an estimated timeline for the archive retrieval process and download

Step 5: Download your file

• If you're not actively in the Core app:

• Once ready, you’ll receive a “Download Ready” notification

  • Return to the download page or follow the link provided
  • Download as normal

• If you're in the Core app when the Download is ready, the app will immediately start downloading the restored archival files

Important Notes

• Restore times may vary depending on file size and archive tier
• Some files may not be eligible for archival if actively in use
• You’ll receive clear messaging if a file cannot be restored
