Arc.Box Knowledge Base Overview
Arc.Box: The Sealing Layer
ARCs: Authentic Record Containers
Vista: Private Intelligence
Phase 01 Initialize

Your organization starts here.

Everything begins with access. Before you can seal a single record, you need an account. These three videos cover how standard users sign up, how Enterprise organizations register their full governance environment, and how Enterprise users log in daily. Watch 01.1 if you're an individual. Watch 01.2 and 01.3 if you're setting up for a team.

01.1
Initialize · Your First Step

Create an Account

Enter your email, confirm your organization, and you're in. This is where every Arc.Box journey begins and it takes about 90 seconds.

01.2
Initialize · Enterprise

Sign Up as an Enterprise

Enterprise sign-up registers your organization, not just a user. Configure your tenant, set governance settings, and activate the environment your whole team will operate inside.

01.3
Initialize · Enterprise Access

Log In as an Enterprise

Enterprise authentication uses multi-step identity verification tied to your organization. 48 seconds from start to dashboard. Watch it once and you'll know the flow cold.

01.4
Initialize · Sign Up Options

Email or MetaMask: Which Sign Up Is Right for You?

Arc.Box supports two authentication methods: email (standard) and MetaMask (Web3 wallet). This video explains the difference, who each is for, and how to choose before you start.

01.5
Initialize · MetaMask

How to Set Up and Connect MetaMask to Arc.Box

Step by step: install the MetaMask extension, create your wallet, secure your seed phrase, and connect to Arc.Box. No crypto experience needed. This is identity, not trading.

01.6
Initialize · Customer Journey

The Arc.Box Customer Journey

From your first sign-up to your first sealed record and your first question to Vista — this is the complete Arc.Box journey, in two phases.

Phase 02 Configure

Build your governance layer.

With access active, Enterprise organizations build their custom Arc.Box application: their branding, their workflows, their record governance. Once published, every team member operates inside this environment. You do this once, and you can update it any time without breaking existing records.

02.1
Configure · App Setup

Create and Publish Your Enterprise App

Name your application, upload your organization's logo, configure your tenant, and set your record workflow. Publish, and your entire team now accesses Arc.Box through your branded, governed environment.

02.2
Configure · App Management

Edit and Republish Your App

As your workflows evolve, your app can too. Update settings, governance rules, and configurations, then republish without breaking a single existing sealed record in the system. Safe to do at any time.

02.3
Configure · Users

How to Invite Users to Your Arc.Box

Add users to your organization's Arc.Box environment, assigning roles, access levels, and governance permissions from your enterprise dashboard.

02.4
Configure · Workspace

How to Organize Your Arc.Box

Structure your workspace: organizing sealed records, setting folder governance, and building the record architecture your team operates from day one.

Phase 03 Govern

Sealed records. Owned assets.

An ARC (an Authentic Record Container) is not a file. It is a sealed, tamper-evident record with a cryptographic hash that proves it hasn't been altered since the moment it was created. A Master ARC groups related records together. A certified ARC can be proven to anyone. This phase covers the complete record lifecycle.

03.1
Govern · Core Workflow

How to Create an ARC

Upload your document, seal it, and Arc.Box generates a cryptographic hash: a permanent fingerprint. From that moment on, no one can alter this record. Not even us. This is the foundational action.

03.2
Govern · Advanced

Create a Master ARC

One ARC proves one document. A Master ARC proves everything at once: all records from a deal, an audit, or a client matter, grouped and certified as a provable set. One container. Unalterable.

03.3
Govern · Certification

How to Certify an ARC

A sealed ARC is protected. A certified ARC is provable, with an independent cryptographic timestamp that holds up in an SEC examination, a FINRA audit, or a legal proceeding. Not editable. Not reversible.

03.4
Govern · Collaboration

Share a Draft Before Sealing

Need a colleague or client to review before the record is permanent? A draft lets you share it without sealing. Their feedback becomes part of the audit trail. Seal it when you're ready. Nothing is lost.

03.5
Govern · Distribution

How to Share a Certified ARC

Generate a verification link. Regulators, auditors, or counsel open it and verify authenticity instantly. No Arc.Box account required. You don't have to ask them to trust you. The proof does that for you.

03.6
Govern · Vaults

What Is a Vault and How Does It Work?

A Vault organizes sealed ARCs by client, matter, or period, structuring your governance layer at scale. Understand how Vaults differ from Master ARCs and when to use each.

03.7
Govern · Vaults

Vault to ARC: Sealing Your Files

Upload your files into a Vault, select the ones that belong together, and seal them into an ARC — without leaving the Vault. This is the fastest path from raw files to an authenticated, tamper-evident record.

Phase 04 Activate

Your records become private intelligence.

Vista runs exclusively on your sealed, verified records, never external data, never assumptions. This is where governed records become organizational intelligence your firm owns and controls. Everything Vista surfaces is traceable to a sealed, certified ARC. These tutorials are in production.

04.1
Activate · Vista

How to Interact with Vista

Query your sealed records through Vista, surfacing verified answers traceable to their source ARCs. Private. Accurate. Owned entirely by your organization.

04.2
Activate · Vista

Vista Questions and Answers

This is Vista. It only knows what your organization has sealed — no outside data, no other model. Every answer traces back to a verified record.

What Is Enterprise Level and How Do I Get Private Vista?

Understand the enterprise tier: what it unlocks, how Private Vista differs from the standard layer, and how to activate sovereign AI intelligence for your organization.

Can I Personalize My Vista Model to My Organization?

Vista is not a generic model. It runs exclusively on your sealed records. Learn how personalization works and what your organization gains from an AI trained only on what you own.

How Archivista builds your organization's private Vista model: from sealed record inventory to a deployed, sovereign intelligence layer your firm controls.

Phase 05 Scale

What changes when your organization owns its data.

Governance is not a project you finish. It is a foundation you build on. Understand how Arc.Box transforms your organization over time, and what becomes possible when every record is a provable, owned, compounding asset.

05.1
Scale · Transformation

How Can Arc.Box Change My Organization?

From reactive compliance to permanent audit readiness. From scattered records to sovereign, compounding organizational knowledge. What Arc.Box makes possible, at scale.

Scale · Personalization

How to Upgrade and Personalize My Arc.Box

Expand your capabilities, adding governance tiers, custom record types, and organizational settings as your compliance requirements grow and your sealed record inventory deepens.
