Does AGOL use the equivalent of Archiving functionality in geodatabases?

ArcGIS Online feature layers have this option: "Keep track of changes to the data (add, update, delete features)."

Is that functionality essentially the same as Archiving in file geodatabases, enterprise geodatabases, and mobile geodatabases?

Hi @Bud, 

You may be thinking of versioning, which is available in ArcGIS Enterprise. You might find this post helpful.
