Retention

Users with the requisite permission can create a retention change request for archived Exchange and Files items from its context menu. When a request is created, approvers get an email notification and can review the request. Users who created a request are informed through an email notification once an approver has processed the request. Users and approvers can track the requests in ArchiveWeb from the Retention tab. Users and approvers can see open, approved, denied requests and request history. Additionally, approvers can export all items from a request to a ZIP file, deny the entire request and approve all or selected items from the request.
