.. _Manage_ArchiveWorkingCopiesOnCommit:

Manage > Archive Working Copies on Commit
-----------------------------------------

This option from the :ref:`ManageTab` can be used to activate a mode in which committed workflows will
be automatically archived.

.. hint::
   By default, when a workflow is committed it remains in the same place as the change history, but
   only with a different status. This means the individual changes from the workflow will continue to
   be searchable yet also occupy space.
   As the number of completed workflows grows, so do the memory requirements, with potential
   performance implications.

Archiving a workflow will move its change history into a file in the workspace, releasing the memory
from the change history graph.

.. note::
   This option has precedence over the :ref:`Manage_RecordTripleCountsOnly` option, i.e. the archive
   will contain the full history before being compacted.
