Frequently asked questions

What is Datasite Archive?

Datasite Archive lets you take a perfect snapshot of your data room at the end, or at any point throughout, to retain a permanent record of your project. Search and navigate as easily and securely as a live project, unlike traditional archive methods. Keep materials from one deal to use with subsequent transactions.​

How does Datasite Archive support my deal lifecycle?

Take a snapshot of your deal room anytime you need.  Ensure you have a copy of your project before you launch – should you need it.  Provide bidders a snapshot of the project that is legally defensible.  See and access all your previous projects all in Datasite – no need to hunt for USB drives, or other physical media.  

Do I need training to use Datasite Archive?
