Re: Document Library Retention Labels

Hi Carl_Williams , have you already created your retention labels/policies in the M365 Compliance portal? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/retention?view=o365-worldwide#retention-policies-and-retention-labels

 

If that's complete and you don't want to apply your label/policy to an entire site, here's how to apply to files/folders/libraries Apply retention labels to files in SharePoint or OneDrive - Microsoft Support

 

I hope that helps!

    Hi Kelly. No, I had no idea about the M365 Compliance Portal (????). I was simply trying to follow the intuitiveness of the links in the document library settings as I've always done.
    Had no idea that the links in Library Settings are just left there as a bread crumbs leading to frustration. NO WHERE does it say goto the M365 Compliance Portal.
    Why would they (msft) provide an intuitive experience when you can waste valuable time??
    Thanks very much for your reply, obviously very much appreciated!
