Simulate your archiving impact

ShArc scans your SharePoint and pinpoints exactly which files can be archived: by size, location, and age. The simulation reveals where your cold data hides and how much storage you can save. You can see the real impact before archiving.
 
ShArc’s simulation feature allows you to configure custom archiving rules for any SharePoint site or libraries. You can immediately simulate the result to see exactly how much storage space would be freed up by applying your conditions, without touching a single file.

See the impact of your archiving settings, before you commit

Whether you're targeting large media files, outdated documentation, or project archives, the preview helps you answer essential questions like:

  • How many files will be affected?
  • How much storage will I save?
  • Do these rules impact business-critical content?

Receive detailed information before archiving

The preview, simulation and storage breakdown offer clear metrics and detailed information per site or library, so you can assess storage potential with confidence. It also helps identify quick wins: high-volume candidates for archiving that don’t affect current workflows. 

If you want to adjust your settings, you can make changes and start a new simulation.

Why the preview matters

  • Automated, planned archiving 
  • Make informed, data-backed decisions
  • Avoid over-cleaning and keep important files accessible
  • Maximize your ROI by archiving only what makes sense

With this insight-first approach, you can fine-tune your archiving strategy before implementing it – and avoid costly trial-and-error cycles. The result is a leaner, cleaner SharePoint environment, optimized for performance and cost-efficiency.

Take the risk out of cleanup. Start with a simulation and preview the benefits of ShArc.
