Many of us are like squirrels. We collect and store more content than we can/should consume.

After some time the content of our Office 365 Tenant becomes a “Content Flea Market”. One of the challenges with a flea market is that it is difficult to get an overview of what is valuable and what is worthless.

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.

In Your Office 365 Environment (Exchange, OneDrive and SharePoint)

  • Do you have a requirement to retain content for a minimum period of time?
  • Do You want to permanently delete old content that you are no longer required to keep?
  • Do You want to ensure that your users only work with content that is valid, current and relevant to them?
  • 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!

I’m Magnus

I am the person behind this blog, created to share experiences, insights, news, practical guidance, tips & tricks, constructive feedback, and reviews. While the blog covers most of Microsoft 365, a significant focus is on AI, Microsoft Copilot, security, and the governance frameworks required to use these technologies responsibly and effectively.

I am passionate about exploring, testing, and evaluating new applications, features, and solutions. However, I am equally passionate about understanding how to implement them securely and successfully. For me, technology is not only about innovation and productivity, but also about security, compliance, governance, and risk management. My goal is to help organizations and people maximize the value of Microsoft 365 and AI while ensuring that security, data protection, and responsible adoption remain at the center of every decision.
