What is it?
Archiving your content moves your video content to more sustainable cold storage area that is less resource demanding. This can be useful for video resources that you do not want to delete since you think they may be of some use in the future. UoD has set a retention policy that archives content- your videos, or a video you are attempting to view, may be sent to your site’s archive. You can also manually archive content.
Note: It can take up to 48 hours to restore a Panopto video from the archive.
