SharePoint Retention Labels / Policies
Morning. We are using SharePoint to create (and replace) are current Departmental Drives and we are going to move all the documents on the Drives to the relevant sites. We want to apply retention policies to all documents, but not sure how to make it work in this case. Retention counts from the date the file was created or modified in SharePoint - for the sake of this question, lets say that is Today. So if we are to keep document X for 5 years, that will be 5 years from today. Now, Document X was actually created 4 years ago, so technically it should be deleted in 1 year. But since i am moving it to SharePoint today, It will only be deleted in 5 years from today making the file 9 years old. Is there any way to apply policies that will work with files that are not newly created in SharePoint but moved from another location? thanks
