Archiving is an Advanced Rights option that you can enable on individual assets. You can set an asset to archive indefinitely or with a specific start date, similar to an expiration. While archived, only specific users with the appropriate permissions can view and download these assets. Assets marked as archived will be displayed as archived on the asset thumbnail. You can enable it so that users who downloaded the asset will receive a notification in their portal Notification Center when an asset will be archived. To help manage your asset's lifecycle, you can enable a setting requiring all assets uploaded or edited to have an archival date.

- Click Save or Store selected files.
Note: You cannot set a future asset deletion date in Bynder
Archive Notifications
You can help notify your users about assets being archived. If this option is enabled for you, users who have downloaded an asset (once or multiple times) will receive a notification on the archival date. You will also be notified when the asset or derivative is archived. The notification is only sent to those who have downloaded the asset.
Notifications will not be generated for open asset bank users.
Please contact your Customer Success Manager if you want to configure the notification to appear before an asset reaches its archival date. You can specify how many days before the archival date the notification will appear.
Mandatory Archive Date on Upload and Multi-Edit
How to enable this feature in your portal?
Contact your Customer Success Contact to enable this feature in your portal.
To help manage your asset’s lifecycle, Bynder can enable a setting requiring all assets uploaded or edited to have an archival date.
This setting will impact assets uploaded via the front-end uploader and the editing of all assets. This setting will not be enforced with Version Updater, Mass Uploader, or via API.
If you want to keep mandatory archival dates for API uploads, please ensure that you upload assets to the Waiting Room first so that the archive date cannot be bypassed.
FAQ
How do we allow all users to view archived assets in collections?
The recipient’s permissions will be respected by default when sharing assets with users. If you share a collection that includes archived assets with a group of users who do not have permission to view archived assets, they will not see the archived assets. Only those who have access to the archived assets in the Asset Bank will have access to those assets in the Collection.
The Collection shared must be created by a user with view archived assets permission and then shared with a user without these permissions to bypass that restriction. If you have issues with this, please contact Customer Support.Updated
