# Consent archives


### Overview

Consent archives allow you to request monthly bulk exports of consent records from your store.

This feature is useful when you need to download consent records for a full month instead of exporting records manually from the consent tracking table.

|| Consent archives are available only on the **Enterprise** plan.

*Monthly bulk exports are available only for months after the Enterprise plan becomes active on your store.

### How to access consent archives

From your Shopify admin:

1. Go to **Apps**.
2. Open **Pandectes GDPR**.
3. In the Pandectes sidebar, click **Reports**.
4. Open **Consents tracking**.

The **Consent archives** section appears below the consent tracking table.

### Requesting a monthly archive

To request a consent archive:

1. Go to **Reports → Consents tracking**.
2. Scroll to **Consent archives**.
3. Select the year from the year selector.
4. Find the month you want to export.
5. Click **Request** in the **File** column.

After you request the archive, the file status changes to **Processing**.

### Processing status

When an archive is being prepared, the **File** column shows **Processing**.

During this time, the export file is not ready yet.

Once processing is complete, the file becomes available for download from the same row.

### Downloading an archive

After the archive is ready:

1. Go to **Reports → Consents tracking**.
2. Scroll to **Consent archives**.
3. Find the requested month.
4. Download the file from the **File** column.

The exported file contains consent records for the selected monthly period.

### Important notes

* Consent archives are monthly bulk exports.
* Archives are generated per month, not for custom date ranges.
* Monthly bulk exports are available only for months after the Enterprise plan becomes active on your store.
* The visible periods may depend on the selected year.
* If a file is still marked as **Processing**, wait until the archive generation is completed.
* For individual records or shorter date ranges, use the consent tracking table and its available filters.
