Viewing and restoring archived documents

Users can access documents that have been stored in the Enterprise Vault SharePoint archives as follows:

Using the "Show archived versions for this document" link on the versions history page. From this page users can access versions of a document that are in the archive and also replace the current version of a document on the SharePoint server with a version in the archive.
Using the Restore from Archive menu option on Enterprise Vault shortcuts. The option enables users to restore documents.
Using the Archive Search Web Part. The Archive Search Web Part enables users to search for archived documents in the archives. From the search results page, users can view documents and copy archived documents or document versions to the SharePoint server.
Using the Archive Explorer Web Part. The Archive Explorer Web Part enables users to browse and search SharePoint archives that they have permission to access. Archived documents can be viewed but not restored using Archive Explorer.

Note:

When Archive Explorer is launched from within Outlook, it does not display SharePoint archives.

In sites and document libraries, users will only be able to see documents that they have permission to access.

To use Archive Search or Archive Explorer Web Parts, Internet Explorer 6.0 or later, with Java scripting enabled, must be installed on each user's desktop computer.
