# Archives Quality Control Checks

This document is meant to be used alongside the project archival process for quality control purposes.

## When to Contact Support

While using this document, if you come across any issues with the archive process, try performing the step a second time (recreate, re-download, or re-extract the archive). If your issues still persist, contact customer support by emailing [support@revealdata.com](mailto:support@revealdata.com) and attach your Log.txt file.
