SharePoint Retention
Hey Admins! I just wanted to check a setting in regards to SharePoint retention, the wording had me a little confused and I wanted to double this with you. Always better to check than just go ah...
ITbEFThis is my view and MS also says so "retention wins over deletion". So this is what will happen:
If a chat or channel message is modified or deleted within the retention period of 7 years then a copy of the original message is created in the SubstrateHolds folder and retained until the end of the retention period, when the copy in the SubstrateHolds folder is permanently deleted one day after the item expires.
If the item is not modified or deleted during the retention period: Nothing happens before and after the retention period; the message remains in its original location.
Thanks,
Vik
