Custom data retention settings

Users can delete any pages that they have edit or full access to. They can also restore or remove those pages from Trash.

As an Enterprise workspace owner, you can decide how long a page stays in Trash before it’s permanently deleted and no longer accessible to users. To do this:

1. Go to Settings & members in your sidebar.

2. Select Security & data.

3. Open the Data retention tab.

4. You’ll see the current setting for when pages in Trash will be deleted. By default, this is 30 days. Select Change to customize it.

5. Set a custom time period between one day and 10 years. Your time period can be set in days or years.

6. Once you’re done, select Save.

When users in your workspace navigate to Trash in the sidebar, they’ll be able to see how long pages have before they’re deleted from Trash.

Only Enterprise workspace owners can view and restore pages after they’ve been permanently deleted from Trash. To set the length of this retention period:

1. Go to Settings & members in your sidebar.

2. Select Security & data.

3. Open the Data retention tab.

4. You’ll see the current setting for how long pages will be retained. By default, this is 30 days. Select Change to customize it.

5. Set a custom time period between one day and 10 years. Your time period can be set in days or years.

6. Once you’re done, select Save.

Starting June 17th, Enterprise workspace owners will be able to see and manage retained pages using content search.
