So it's like adding Preservation hold library before First Recycle bin, whenever user delete a file will go there first, and we can set like 7 yrs before its going to first recycle bin, right?

- what permission required to setup Preservation hold library? if any guide link will be helpful..
Many thanks 🙂

Ehab7 Here is a great blog post covering the scenario. Hope this helps! https://joannecklein.com/2017/10/31/the-office-365-preservation-policy/
It's a bit older so it's a little different getting through the menu options but overall it's the same setup.

Thanks for all info, a question I am a bit confused about it, if I setup Retention Policy for 7 years for Preservation hold library & deployed for one of A Sharepoint site, if there file not modified for 7 years will it move or take copy only to Preservation Hold library? as it might be a document not required to be changed but should stay forever!
is there any additional cost for enabling Retention Policy ? we are using O365 E3
