Datasite Archive™

Preserve and protect your deal history

Keep every deal record secure, and ready for what comes next

Seamless creation

When the deal is done, the full history is automatically captured and preserved when you close a project in Diligence or Acquire. Make an additional copy for controlled access to closure materials.

Easy to find

Keep historical deal records organized in one searchable space, so teams can quickly locate documents, decisions, and deal history when questions come up long after close.

Fully compliant

Preserve a legally defensible snapshot of your project, frozen at the point of archive creation, with full audit information and an instant comfort letter included.

Start a new project

Every deal creates work that can help the next one. Reuse archived content to carry forward structure, documents, and context into future deals without rebuilding from scratch.

Simple to use

Find what you need without opening multiple records. Documents are indexed, searchable, and ready for controlled access when the deal record is needed for review.

Frequently asked questions

What is Datasite Archive™?

Datasite Archive helps you create a secure, searchable, and legally defensible snapshot of your data room when a project closes. It keeps completed deal materials organized and easy to revisit, supports post-close review, and helps teams reuse prior work in future transactions.

How does Datasite Archive support my deal lifecycle?

Archive supports the post-close stage of the deal lifecycle by preserving a searchable, legally defensible record of project activity. Teams can revisit historical materials, support audits or legal reviews, provide controlled access to stakeholders who need the record, and reuse prior work in future deals.

Do I need training to use Datasite Archive?

Not at all. Treat yourself to a seamless user experience, and an intuitive interface similar to our other Datasite apps. You’ll be browsing content and managing users in no time – even if you’re a first-time user. Support is always available from Datasite Assist, our expert product support specialists, if any questions arise.

What do I need to access Datasite Archive?

Datasite Archive is accessible anywhere, from any device. Datasite is device and browser agnostic. It’s a secure web-based app that works on Windows machines or on a Mac.  Access your archive deals using Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, or Safari. If you're on the go, you can access your Archive project with Datasite's secure and convenient mobile app, available for both iPhone and Android.

How do I start a new Datasite Archive project?

A Datasite archive is automatically created when closing a Datasite Diligence or Acquire project. Archives can also be initiated from an open Diligence or Acquire project. Once created, authorized users can access Archive in Datasite to search, manage, and revisit preserved deal content when needed.
