What if we could have a function that cleans away old unimportant content and that also ensures that we keep current and important content as long as we need to keep it?

Surely You have a whole lot of various content stored in Your Office 365 Tenant. Probably some of this content should not be deleted and most likely You would benefit from deleting a whole lot of other content that does not qualify as useful, valid or current.

  • Do You want to be able to select where the policy should be applied?

Here is an overview of retention policies in Office 365 works and how to do implement it!
