Project files and translations are moved to cold storage when a project is archived or canceled for an extended period of time. The archival and offloading solution in Wordbee Translator is scheduled to operate at regular intervals to optimize the storage capacity of the platform. It archives and offloads all files in projects that meet a given set of criteria to cold storage, so you can bring an administrative close to them. Once archived in the offline facilityoffloaded, project and job details are still accessible, but files and translations are not. Since files can be valuable long into the future projects can still be retrieved at any time by the platform administrator.

Moreover, this offloading and retrieval process can also be triggered manually by any system administrator for any given project if needed.

Manually

Archiving projects and their documents is probably the last task of a project. Although it can be set as an automation rule in the work processes of the platform, administrator Administrator users have the ability to trigger the archival and offloading of individual projects on the spot.

Navigate Inside the Project details page, navigate to the 'More' section under the Project Details tab and find the dedicated option for Project archival:

Once the 'Click to offload data' is triggered, the files of the project will be transferred to a secure space. Note that many sections of the project remain available for consultation, although the project files are no longer available online.

The archival and offloading of projects are also recorded in the status history of the project. These logs serve to follow up on all the events that have happened during the project lifecycle and provide a closer look to at all actions taken along the way.

Using the filters in the main Project page users will be able to find which projects remain fully available in the system and which are moved out to cold storage. These filters can also be used to locate specific files in a project, regardless of its their offloaded status.

How to retrieve the files back from an offloaded project

By clicking the option 'Click to restore data', the project will be refloated entirely to the online platform. The actual files and deliverables will become available again, just as when first created. A lo
