Unarchive content via the Manage Archive page

Only enterprise, workplace, and space administrators can unarchive content this way. However, space administrators can only do so via their space's Manage Archive page.

When restoring recently archived content on the Manage Archive page, the restored content will receive a content-specific "Do not archive" policy that will prevent archiving policies from archiving it again. To edit this content-specific policy, see Edit content's archiving policy.

  3. Select the Archive tab.
  4. Find the content that you want to unarchive.
  5. To the right of the content, select Restore.
