What's next: File-level archiving in Microsoft 365

JSteckroth — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 17:03:21 GMT

REGISTER HERE

As content continues to grow, organizations need better ways to manage inactive data without sacrificing security, compliance, or discoverability. 

Join us for an overview of how Microsoft 365 Archive can help your organization reduce storage costs and improve Copilot performance. With file-level archiving, you can move inactive, outdated, or redundant files into a lower-cost, cold-storage tier, while maintaining data retention, governance, security, and searchability within SharePoint. With file-level archiving, you'll be able to archive outdated and redundant documents, while keeping the rest of the site active and fully functional.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how Microsoft 365 Archive helps organizations:

Reduce active SharePoint storage consumption and manage content growth

Improve Copilot and search relevance by removing inactive content from the active index

Maintain security, compliance, and metadata for archived content

Take a more intentional approach to data lifecycle management

Whether you’re looking to control storage costs, improve Copilot outcomes, or better govern inactive content, this webinar will help you understand how file-level archiving fits into your Microsoft 365 data strategy.
