Learn how to identify which data archiving product is active in your Salesforce org and
where to find documentation for each product. Salesforce has three products for archiving data:
the Archive app, the Archive managed package, and the legacy Salesforce Archive. Each product
helps you manage data and improve system performance by moving old or inactive data into
storage. In this way, you keep only important and reliable information in
production.
Required Editions
| Available in: Developer, Enterprise, and Unlimited Editions.
Requires the Archive license. |
Archive App
Archive is the newest native Salesforce app. You don’t
install or maintain a managed package. The Archive app automatically selects archive regions
based on your org’s location. You can define and monitor Archive policies and data retention
rules through the user interface or via standard objects.
From the App Launcher, find
and select Archive. It opens to the Home tab, which shows the Archive
Dashboard, and includes the Salesforce logo. To confirm that you have this product, check
for the Archive app name on the Home tab.

Help.
Archive Managed Package
Archive by Own from Salesforce is a managed
package that you install in production or sandbox environments. Unlike the Archive app, the
Archive managed package is accompanied by the Archive Console.
From the App Launcher,
find and select Archive. The managed package opens to the Home Page
tab. The page has the Own from Salesforce logo along with the package’s version number. If
you see the version number on the Archive Dashboard, your org has the managed
package.

Salesforce Help.
Legacy Salesforce Archive
Salesforce Archive is the legacy native app
available in most Salesforce instances. It’s not available in South Korea, Indonesia,
Brazil, or Middle East instances.
From the App Launcher, find and select
Legacy Archive. It opens to the Home tab and shows Legacy Archive
on the screen.
