Architectural artifacts are created to describe a system, solution, or state of an enterprise. The goal of architectural artifacts in Enterprise Architecture is to enable enterprise architects to create and manage artifacts in their organization.

Sometimes you may rely on external sources to keep and maintain many of your enterprise architecture elements such as diagrams, reports, and other visualizations. The architectural artifacts feature makes it easy to associate these
artifacts to the ServiceNow® objects such as business applications or business capabilities.  
As an enterprise architect, you can use architectural artifacts to perform the following tasks:

* Review and approve architectural artifacts
* Track artifacts versions
* Relate architectural artifacts to categories that are configured to match the needs of the organization
* Associate your architectural artifacts to your organization's business capabilities, business applications, digital integrations, or digital interfaces.

The architectural artifacts feature extends the functionality of the ServiceNow® Document Management plugin (com.snc.platform_document_management) and can create a relationship with ServiceNow® objects: business applications, business capabilities, digital integrations, or digital interfaces.
