To keep files longer than the specified retention policy, you can place an indefinite hold on a file by using the Protect from deletion option.
What you should know
- Users must have manage permission to protect files associated with a case.
- Users must also be included in the Protect or unprotect cases and files from deletion security policies list. If there are no users on that list, then all users with manage permissions have the ability to protect or unprotect cases and files.
