Before you start
Archive retrieval is meant for governed access. Use it when you need a retained record with its history and context intact, not as a shortcut to active work.
- Make sure you have permission to review archived records.
- Use the record metadata you know, such as employee, type, or date, to narrow your search.
- Expect retention and evidence context to matter as much as the file itself.
Follow these steps
- Open the archive retrieval view or employee cabinet search path.
- Search using governed filters until the retained record is clearly identified.
- Review the archived record together with its status, history, and evidence context.
- Keep any follow-up review inside the governed retrieval flow instead of exporting or sharing casually.
Success checks
