Enhancing Google Vault file retention capabilities using Google Drive Labels
Tuesday, June 20, 2023
With this update, Vault users can set fine-grained file-level retention policies with configurable label conditions (e.g. "label is," "label is not," "label date is before"). Additionally, you can have a label with multiple options (sub labels) and have nested and conditional application of overlapping and distinct rules.
