We have introduced the opportunity for project admins and higher roles to define which other roles in the project will be allowed to reinstate archived files. This includes also reinstating early, before expiry of the regular 90-day period of no access to the archived files. Formerly, this was only possible via extended support.
A further convenience is that the project admin can choose to enable the reinstate “on access” feature. In such a case, the users with the respective roles will be able to directly preview and download the respective archived files without having to reinstate them first. The reinstating will happen automatically in the background.
Such early access to archived files will generate additional costs for the project, therefore a warning dialog is added for every archiving and reinstating action.
The costs will be reported as a separate metric in Usage and Estimated Costs, namely Early Reinstation of Data.
For details, refer to Archiving.
