Some interesting things to consider when setting a retention policy for Planner tasks. I’m interested in seeing how it works, but also whether it applies to the copy of the task stored in the user’s mailbox when it’s assigned to someone. From an eDiscovery standpoint, I don’t think Planner tasks have been a huge topic…
Just a little light conversation about eDiscovery, Microsoft 365, Copilot, etc., before you head out to your holiday weekend.
OneDrive retention presents several challenges due to the variety of items that reside there by default. Share a file in a Teams chat and collaborate on it? It’s in OneDrive. Upload a file for Copilot to summarize, which will be copied to OneDrive. Meeting recordings and notes? OneDrive. Items from your local desktop and documents folders? Likely synced to OneDrive.
Use OneNote to store notes that you want to keep as a historical record? Yeah, OneDrive.
How do you establish a single policy to cover the retention of all these different scenarios?
The roadmap item still shows the rollout of hold reports scheduled for November, but imagine my surprise on Friday when I saw a new “Dashboard” section in the left-hand menu, which included a link to Hold Reports:
There is more detail in the announcement above, but the bottom line is this. You can get Defender and a range of e5 Purview tools for an additional $15 USD per month per user. With Business Premium costing $22 per month per user when paid annually, that’s a significant savings over a full E5 license if you have fewer than 300 users.
