Microsoft 365 file-level archive: Your questions answered by the Microsoft team that builds it
File-level archive is one of Microsoft 365's biggest 2026 releases — cutting storage costs while boosting SharePoint search and Copilot answer quality.
Join Microsoft MVP Vlad Catrinescu, Trent Green (Principal PM, Microsoft), and Matija Hanzic (PM, Syskit) for a live session on how file-level archive really works — and what it means for search, Copilot, compliance, and storage quota. Plus: getting more value from it with Syskit Point.
Bring your toughest questions. We'll bring the answers.
From confusion to clarity: What file-level archive means for your environment
Microsoft 365 Archive sounds simple — "move files to cheaper storage" — but the real questions come once you're the one deciding how and when to turn it on. What happens to a file the moment it's archived? Does search still find it? Does Copilot still read it?
Trent Green will answer these directly, sharing the reasoning behind the feature, its impact on compliance and storage, and the misconceptions he hears most.
Then Matija Hanzic from Syskit shows what comes next: native archive gets files into cheaper storage, but it won't tell you which files are stale, won't manage version history sprawl, and won't clean up the noise dragging down Copilot's answers. He'll walk through how Syskit Point closes that gap.
The session wraps with live Q&A, moderated by Vlad Catrinescu — your chance to get direct answers before you flip the switch in your own environment.
When: US Eastern, 11:00 AM EDT, September 22
