7. Archiving and Documenting the Complete Design for Future Reuse and Support A well-archived and documented PCB design ensures that future maintenance, troubleshooting, product revisions, or regulatory reviews can be performed efficiently and accurately. Poor documentation or lost files lead to expensive reverse engineering, delays, or even the inability to support products in the field. Clear, complete archives preserve the engineering knowledge and decisions that went into the design, benefiting your team, your company, and your customers over the product lifecycle. When And Where To Apply Archive and document at every major design milestone, and especially after tape-out and first article approval. This is critical for all designs - especially those with long lifecycles, regulatory oversight, or multiple production sites. In OrCAD X Schematic, the Project Archive utility creates a self-contained package of your design project so it can be easily backed up, shared, or sent for manufacturing/review
