  • Active content has been migrated to Working Group SharePoint sites

  • Non-active and historical content has been archived and is available upon request

3. Process Overview

After SWS retirement, documents are accessed through one of the following methods based on document status:

 
Document Type Access Method

Active Project Documents

Direct access via Working Group SharePoint sites

Non-Active / Historical Documents
Request-based access via support ticket

4.1 Accessing Active Project Documents

  1. Navigate to the relevant Working Group SharePoint site

  2. Locate the applicable project folder

  3. Look for an “SWS Archive” folder or similarly labeled location containing migrated content

    • Note: Folder structure and naming conventions for those documents may vary by Working Group based on how team organized their content.

 

4.2 Accessing Non-Active or Historical Documents

Step 1 – Submit Request

  • Submit a support ticket via Zendesk: Bluetooth SIG Support- > Form: SWS Archived Document(s) Request

Step 2 – Include the following details in the request:

  • File Name / Document Title (if known)

  • Project Name /Working Group (if known)

  • Phase the document was in (if known)

Document Retrieval

  • The SIG team will locate the requested document within the archive

  • The document will be provided directly through the support ticket

5.Important Notes

  • All SWS links and bookmarks will be inactive after June 18, 2026

  • No documents have been deleted — all content is either:

    • Available in SharePoint (active), or

    • Retained in the archive (historical)

  • Archived documents are not directly browsable and require a formal request
