SharePoint Online list with 1 day retention policy still showing 3 days of items
Hi rhiheu,
Perhaps it happens because the Policy is not determined for the Site Collection as it said https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/retention-policies-sharepoint?view=o365-worldwide: '...A retention policy is applied at the level of a site collection. When you include a SharePoint site collection or OneDrive account in a retention policy, a Preservation Hold library is created, if one doesn't exist. You can view this library on the Site contents page in the top-level site of the site collection. Most users can't view the Preservation Hold library because it's visible only to site collection administrators...'.
Cheers,
Oleg.
Hi olegmelnikov, thanks for your reply. Since it's possible to also set retention policies at a list/content-type level, I'm not quite understanding where that article provides an answer to my issue sorry.
Hi rhiheu - this article may help. Looks like the policy needs to be set at the Site Collection level first, and then to the Content Type. https://sharepointmaven.com/set-retention-deletion-policies-files-folders-sharepoint/ Hope that helps.
