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?

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?

Starting a new Datasite Archive project is straightforward: simply initiate the request from an existing Datasite Diligence or Datasite Acquire project.
