New Retention Policies
Hi Matt,
Yes you can create a single Retention Policy to protect all content that you refer.
Just make sure that all your licences supports retention.
Just to add that any existing Preservation policies should have been converted to Retention policies.
VasilMichev not according to this:
https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Overview-of-retention-policies-5e377752-700d-4870-9b6d-12bfc12d2423?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US#preservationI can confirm that my existing preservation policies are still working as expected, with no apparent changes.
Well I was referring exactly to the article you linked to:
SpoilerWhat happened to preservation policies?
If you were using a preservation policy, that policy has been automatically converted to a retention policy that uses only the retain action – the policy won’t delete content. The preservation policy will continue to work and preserve your content without requiring any changes from you. You can find these policies on the Retention page in the Security & Compliance Center. You can edit a preservation policy to change the retention period, but you can’t make other changes, such as adding or removing locations.
- Gotcha! I suppose I mis-read that statement - the part about the converted policy not performing any deletion. A re-read of the paragraph above is clearer now. Thanks!
