Un-archiving old Appian processes into the latest Appian version

Question

Hello, we have Appian processes created from 2011 onwards available in our Archives. I am not sure of the Appian version that was available at time in 2011.

Would it be possible and does Appian have backward compatibility to "un-archive" these old process into the latest Appian version 17.1 ?

You can unarchive any process that was archived in Appian v6.0 or later into any currently-supported version of Appian. 
 
If you have processes that were archived from a version of Appian prior to 6.0, you&#x27;ll need to unarchive them and re-archive them before upgrading. 
 
If you were first archiving from a current version in 2011, you will be fine. The current versions then were 6.5/6.6 ( docs.appian.com/.../Product_Release_History.html).
