What functions/information do 'Archive' and 'Archive history' provide?

The archived instances are listed. Use Filter Show/hide filter to restrict the number of process instances displayed according to various criteria. You can export the data as a CSV file (Export).

To unarchive instances, move the mouse pointer over the relevant table row and click Unarchive archived instances Unarchive selected instances. To delete archived instances, move the mouse pointer over the relevant table row and click Delete Delete.

To suspend archiving, unarchiving, or deletion, click Suspend in the progress dialog. Alternatively, you can use the suspend function in Archive history. Please note that operations that have been already completed are not reverted. Example: An operation is running to archive ten instances. You suspend the operation after three instances have already been archived. Only the seven remaining instances are not archived.

To resume the operation, open Archive history, click Resume in the row of the previously suspended archiving execution. This is also helpful if an operation was suspended automatically, for example, during a backup.
