Document Retention Policy

A document retention policy defines how long specific categories of documents must be kept before they can be archived or destroyed, based on legal, tax, or regulatory obligations.

How ARC-Files supports this

ARC-Files lets governance teams define retention rules once and apply them consistently across every SharePoint library and market through the Retention Manager module.
