You can apply a retention policy to your WorkDocs site using the Administrator console. Simply set the number of days you would like files and folders to be retained in the recovery bin settings. When files and folders are deleted by a user, they are stored in the user’s recycle bin for 30 days. At the end of this period, they are moved to the recovery bin, which is visible only to site administrators. Site administrators can restore files and folders in the recovery bin to an alternate location anytime during the retention period. Files not restored during the retention period are permanently deleted. To learn more about how to use data retention policies, please visit Recovery Bin Retention.
You can use site-wide retention policies starting today in all AWS regions where WorkDocs is offered. To learn more about WorkDocs, or to start your 30-day trial, please visit Amazon WorkDocs.
