Archives are snapshots which the issues are deleted after the archiving process. The process is irreversible and archived issues cannot be restored.

  • Snapshots (Does not delete issues)For sharing the issues with non Jira usersFor offline reference when Jira cannot be accessedFor auditsFor baseline recordsFor regulatory requirementsReclaim the disk space (you can use a snapshot to generate the zip of all attachments of selected issues and then delete the attachments)
