Archive a Document

Archive a Document

All documents you have sent to the ATO are stored in the Sent Items. The Archive function allows you to:

save a copy of documents from the Sent Items to a different storage location such as a floppy disk
reduce the size of your Sent Items.

When you archive a document, you also have the option to delete the copy from the Sent Items. Once a document is archived and deleted, you can still access it by using the Restore function.

You can also delete a document directly from Sent Items, however archiving it first will ensure you have a copy.

To archive a document, perform the following steps:

Click on the statement in Sent Items to select it.
Click on the Archive button. The Archive dialog box is displayed.
Select the location to save the file and click the Archive button. The archived document will have its DIN appearing in the filename text box, (eg. bas.12123123123.xml). When the document has been archived successfully, a confirmation message is displayed asking you if you wish to delete the document.
Click the OK button if you wish to delete the document from your Sent Items. If you choose the Cancel button the document will still appear in your Sent Items.
