Postpone or stop the archiving of queued content

Postpone or stop the archiving of queued content to bypass archiving policies that may be active in your digital workplace. 

Content, including content that existed before the policy was created, that meets the conditions of an archiving policy is placed in an archiving queue for the length of time specified by the digital workplace's grace period. Once the grace period is over, the content will be archived. Processing of archiving policies occurs overnight, so the effect of policies will not be seen until the next day. Once content is archived, archiving cannot be postponed or prevented.
