Site preservation
Cora Archive
When a site goes offline, its content does not have to disappear with it.
Cora IQ captures a site's published copy, imagery, assets and metadata, then packages them into an organized archive your team can retrieve after takedown.
Why it exists
Preservation before takedown
Retiring a website should not mean rebuilding its history from fragments later.
Sites go dark after legal holds, mergers, rebrands, consolidations and deliberate content reductions. The team responsible still needs to know what was published and where supporting assets belonged.
Manual exports are slow and separate content from its context. Cora Archive automates the capture before takedown so the organization keeps an intentional, retrievable record.
Who it supports
One capability, several high-stakes moments
Built for teams that cannot afford to lose the record.
Legal and compliance teams
Preserve published content for a retention or litigation-hold workflow without keeping the full site live.
Marketing and web teams
Retain a legacy site during an acquisition, rebrand, consolidation or platform transition.
Companies reducing content
Create a safety net before removing pages or retiring an entire website.

What is captured
An archive with context
Keep the page, not just a folder of disconnected files.
- Published page copy organized by page and section
- Images and assets kept alongside the content they support
- Titles, descriptions and available structured metadata
- An organized package scoped for authorized retrieval
The process
Four clear steps
From live site to retrievable package.
- 01
Scan the live site
Cora IQ crawls the published website without requiring a CMS integration for a standard capture.
- 02
Keep context intact
Copy, images, assets and metadata are organized together by page.
- 03
Package the archive
The captured site is prepared in an organized, retrievable format defined during scoping.
- 04
Retire with confidence
The live site can come down while the content remains available to authorized teams.
Two ways to use it
For agencies
Planned for Cora Workspace.
The current coming-soon model includes Archive during discovery, delivery or ongoing client work. Final availability and packaging may change before launch.

Useful before the conversation
What teams ask before preserving a site.
What does Cora Archive preserve?
Cora Archive captures published page copy, images, assets and metadata, then organizes them by page so the content can be retrieved after the live site is retired.
See how an Archive proposal is scopedDoes Cora Archive require CMS access?
Cora IQ scans the published website directly, so a standard archive usually does not require a CMS integration. Scope is confirmed before capture begins.
See how site scanning worksCan Cora Archive support a legal-hold or M&A workflow?
Cora Archive can preserve website content for legal, compliance, acquisition, rebrand and downsizing workflows. Your legal or compliance team should define the retention and evidentiary requirements that apply to your organization.
Discuss preservation requirementsHow is an archive delivered and retained?
The delivery format, access model and retention period are defined during scoping so the package fits the organization's preservation and retrieval needs.
