  • Flexible Policies

    Flexible Policies

    Go beyond Microsoft 365 out-of-the-box functionality with unlimited SharePoint, Group, and Microsoft Teams archiving, renewal, and deletion policies you can create and apply to existing Workspaces and templates.

    Configure every element of the policies from the firing conditions and triggers, to exactly what happens to the content, to who and how has to approve archival, renewal, or deletion.

    Delegate the power to decide the best course of action with the content slated for archival or deletion to content Owners to ensure the most appropriate decision is made by those with context and invested interest.

    Easily create two-stage archival policies, where content will be archived in place for a set period of time for easy access by Workspace members, and automatically deleted after the hold period.

  • Approval Workflows

    Approval Workflows

    Save days of work by delegating archival and renewal decision-making to content Owners via automated email and Teams notifications with the help of Orchestry’s SharePoint and Microsoft Teams archiving policies.

    Configure policies to send content Owners an FYI notification when archival or deletion doesn’t have to be approved, or configure a notification cadence that makes sense for each archival and deletion policy type.

    Embed your policies with a flexible escalation process by assigning individual users or Groups to approve archival or deletion of content, should the initial approvers fail to act on the automated notifications.

  • Content Configurations

    Content Configurations

    Configure every policy with a preferred archival method, whether it’s archive in place, copying content to a document library or an archival subsite, or deleting the content entirely.

    Choose the actions that are automatically applied to the Groups, Teams, and SharePoint after archival, including name changes or removing content from search scope, Global Address List, and Outlook to avoid end user confusion.

    Decide whether to export channel posts and planner plans into Excel, choose which Document libraries and lists, major document, and site page versions to archive and which to delete.

    Security and Privacy

    With Orchestry’s SharePoint and Microsoft Teams archiving policies, you can ensure the security of your content even post-archival.

    Configure your archival policies to automatically remove Guest, Member, or Owner access to the archived content, or choose to reassign ownership or membership to other individuals or Groups. 

    Extract the permissions configurations of your Group, SharePoint, or Team into Excel and save it for future reference, potential investigations, or compliance inquiries.

    Automated Archival

    Orchesty’s SharePoint and Microsoft Teams archiving and deletion policies are set-and-forget. Sit back, relax, and watch Orchestry automatically engage content Owners to clean up your tenant.

    Archival and deletion policies can be applied retroactively to the content that already exists in your tenant, or to Workspace templates, and will execute automatically when the conditions are met.

    Admins can choose to force a policy on content that’s been idling in the tenant for some time for quick and easy cleanup.
