Microsoft 365 Retention policy application📜 📌 Below shows the high-level retention policy diagram, retention policy lets you proactively retain, delete - or both retain and then delete - content very efficiently by assigning the same retention settings for content by container at a site or mailbox level. A retention policy can support multiple containers, but a single retention policy cannot include all supported containers (Teams, SharePoint etc). 📌When you configure a retention policy, you can choose to retain content indefinitely or for a specific number of days, months, or years. The retention period is calculated from the age of the content (from when it was created or modified), not from when the retention policy is applied. The following diagram shows Retention policies being applied to data in different containers in the M365 environment.
