Navigate to Administrator Bar > Settings > General Settings > Process Completion Data Handling > Archive Process on Completion
When you set the General Settings "Archive Process On Completion" property, it will only archive all future new completed process records (applies to 8.0.6 and older builds only). The old or existing completed process records will remain unchanged. Process archiving on completed processes "moves" the process records to the following DB tables: wf_history_activity, wf_history_process, wf_process_link_history.
