Message retention
Retention controls how long a room keeps its message history.
Options
Section titled “Options”Open the room’s Settings → Retention. You can set:
| Option | Keeps history for |
|---|---|
| Inherit | The organization default (shown as Inherit (N days)). |
| 1 / 7 / 30 / 90 / 365 days | That many days. |
| Forever | No automatic deletion. |
Choosing a value applies it to the room going forward; clear history on the Retention dialog removes the room’s messages now.
