-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

+Artifacts is a list of files and directories which are attached to a job
+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 job artifacts
+
+To disable artifacts site-wide, follow the steps below.

+
+## Storing job artifacts
+
+After a successful job, GitLab Runner uploads an archive containing the job
+artifacts to GitLab.
+
+To change the location where the artifacts are stored, follow the steps below.

+
+## Implementation details
+
+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.
+
+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.
