About archiving and unarchiving process

Question

Hi,
My use case is this:
- We have set automatic deletion for process 4 days fater its termination
- If users report some issue, we archived process involved using Process Management Utilities plugin, just to be sure that we dont lose all the data about what user did, services responses, and so on. We are assuming that archives process remains there until we manually remove them when issue get solved.
- To see all the info about process execution on a better view, our idea is unarchive the process using the aforementioned plugin

My question is, &iquest;once we get a process unarchived will Appian remove it if its retention period is expired? In my case, &iquest;will Appian remove the unarchived process when the 4 days period is over?
&iquest;What happen if we unarchived a process after the 4 days period?

Regards

In 14 years, I never unarchived a process and made it our best practice to delete processes after a minimal period. To understand what a user did, we use an audit trail that records any relevant user activity. Now, even easier with record events.
