In case someone else stumbles across this ticket, I don't know how to modify the docs but a quick scan of the [source](https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/blob/f09d00dd32ea351105ef99456f3af1883d3ca8da/core/src/main/java/hudson/tasks/ArtifactArchiver.java) (as of 2017-09-26) reveals the following fields:

 * _artifacts_: comma or space separated list of patterns or files/directories to be archived (required)

 * _excludes_: Optional ant-style excludes pattern (default null)

 * _allowEmptyArchive_: If set the step will not fail, even if no artifacts are included.  (default false)

 * _fingerprint_: Generates a fingerprint (md5sum?  I'm not sure what this is.  I think it defaults to false)

 * _defaultExcludes_: No idea (defaults to true)

 * _caseSensitive_: Whether the artifacts patterns and excludes patterns should be case sensitive (defaults to true)

I am not sure why I was assigned to the ticket. It's probably an easy fix, so anybody can contribute

archiveArtifacts is listed yes, the archive setp is listed under "Advanced/Deprecated" (which is a hilarious section title, but that's another issue), and its helptext doesn't actually state that archive is deprecated.

This issue seems to be obsolete with Jenkins 2.60.2 and Pipeline: Groovy Plugin 2.39; the referenced page in Jenkins lists archiveArtifacts in the Steps section.

Any updates on this? Finding anything related to pipelines seems to be a real struggle as writing and linking documentation seems to be an implied step in developing.
