1.6 Data Archive vs. Export vs. Sharing
 
Cleaning up the Datasets:
Archiving is a method for taking datasets out of the active working data, but keeping it available locally. It will move the datasets from the Explorer>DataSets branch to the Exploreer>Archives branch. The data is stored in compressed files on disk to save space.  Archiving is available in the Properties menu at the file, device, and dataset levels.
 
Sharing the views, configurations, settings, and map sets:
Exporting is the method in TEMS Discovery of saving a view, a configuration set, settings, or maps sets for sharing and distribution to others. It is available in the Properties menu at the file, device, and dataset levels, and in the Configuration>Configuration Management menu at the project level.
Sharing imported datasets:
Packing for Sharing is the method in TEMS Discovery of saving imported datasets for sharing and distribution to others. It is available in the Properties menu at the dataset level, not the device or file levels.
