+>- Starting from GitLab 8.4 and GitLab Runner 1.0, the artifacts archive format

+
+Artifacts is a list of files and directories which are attached to a build
+after it completes successfully. This feature is enabled by default in all
+GitLab installations. Keep reading if you want to know how to disable it.
+
+## Disabling build artifacts
+
+To disable artifacts site-wide, follow the steps below.
+
+---
+
+**In Omnibus installations:**
+
+1. Edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` and add the following line:
+
+    ```ruby
+    gitlab_rails['artifacts_enabled'] = false
+    ```
+
+1. Save the file and [reconfigure GitLab][] for the changes to take effect.
+
+---
+
+**In installations from source:**
+
+1. Edit `/home/git/gitlab/config/gitlab.yml` and add or amend the following lines:
+
+    ```yaml
+    artifacts:
+      enabled: false
+    ```
+
+1. Save the file and [restart GitLab][] for the changes to take effect.
+
+## Storing build artifacts
+
+After a successful build, GitLab Runner uploads an archive containing the build
+artifacts to GitLab.
+
+To change the location where the artifacts are stored, follow the steps below.
+
+---
+
+**In Omnibus installations:**
+
+_The artifacts are stored by default in
+`/var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/shared/artifacts`._
+
+1. To change the storage path for example to `/mnt/storage/artifacts`, edit
+   `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` and add the following line:
+
+    ```ruby
+    gitlab_rails['artifacts_path'] = "/mnt/storage/artifacts"
+    ```
+
+1. Save the file and [reconfigure GitLab][] for the changes to take effect.
+

+
+**In installations from source:**
+
+_The artifacts are stored by default in
+`/home/git/gitlab/shared/artifacts`._

+      enabled: true
+      path: /mnt/storage/artifacts
+    ```
+
+1. Save the file and [restart GitLab][] for the changes to take effect.
+
+## Set the maximum file size of the artifacts
+
+Provided the artifacts are enabled, you can change the maximum file size of the
+artifacts through the [Admin area settings](../user/admin_area/settings/continuous_integration#maximum-artifacts-size).

-after it completes successfully.  This feature is enabled by default in all GitLab installations.
-
-_If you are searching for ways to use artifacts, jump to
-[Defining artifacts in `.gitlab-ci.yml`](#defining-artifacts-in-gitlab-ciyml)._
-
-Since GitLab 8.2 and [GitLab Runner] 0.7.0, build artifacts that are created by
-GitLab Runner are uploaded to GitLab and are downloadable as a single archive
-(`tar.gz`) using the GitLab UI.
-
-Starting from GitLab 8.4 and GitLab Runner 1.0, the artifacts archive format
-changed to `ZIP`, and it is now possible to browse its contents, with the added
-ability of downloading the files separately.

-The artifacts browser will be available only for new artifacts that are sent

-A job named `pdf` calls the `xelatex` command in order to build a pdf file from

-## Browsing build artifacts
-
-When GitLab receives an artifacts archive, an archive metadata file is also
-generated. This metadata file describes all the entries that are located in the
-artifacts archive itself. The metadata file is in a binary format, with
-additional GZIP compression.
-
-GitLab does not extract the artifacts archive in order to save space, memory
-and disk I/O. It instead inspects the metadata file which contains all the
-relevant information. This is especially important when there is a lot of
-artifacts, or an archive is a very large file.
-
----
-
-After a successful build, if you visit the build's specific page, you can see
-that there are two buttons.
-
-One is for downloading the artifacts archive and the other for browsing its
-contents.
-
-![Build artifacts browser button](img/build_artifacts_browser_button.png)
-
----
-
-The archive browser shows the name and the actual file size of each file in the
-archive. If your artifacts contained directories, then you are also able to
-browse inside them.
-
-Below you can see an image of three different file formats, as well as two
-directories.
-
-![Build artifacts browser](img/build_artifacts_browser.png)
-
----
-
-## Downloading build artifacts
-
-If you need to download the whole archive, there are buttons in various places
-inside GitLab that make that possible.
-
-1. While on the builds page, you can see the download icon for each build's
-   artifacts archive in the right corner
-
-1. While inside a specific build, you are presented with a download button
-   along with the one that browses the archive
-
-1. And finally, when browsing an archive you can see the download button at
-   the top right corner
-
----
-
-Note that GitLab does not extract the entire artifacts archive to send just a
-single file to the user.
-
-When clicking on a specific file, [GitLab Workhorse] extracts it from the
-archive and the download begins.
-
-This implementation saves space, memory and disk I/O.
