Retention protects business-critical files while helping Administrators comply with data retention laws, regulations, and contract requirements. The default retention period set in Protect will preserve all files in Connect sources for a designated time. These default settings act as a fallback i.e. only if there are no retention policy matches for a given file, the default retention period if configured would apply. If multiple retention periods cover the same files, the longest of the retention periods will apply. Learn how to set up a default retention period below.
