Teams Approval Histroy Retention Policy

[DimitriV]

Hello everyone!

Question:

Does anyone know what the default retention policy is for Approvals in Teams, I know it is stored in Dataverse by default in the backend but can't seem to find for how long it is stored there?

Any hints or directions are hugely appreciated!

Kind regards!

Dimitri

28 days, per GDPR (the same as approval history in the Power Automate website)

Hi @ChadVKealey ,

How do you know this, is that documented somewhere or is it by experience, something else?

Thank you for the feedback, appreciate it!

Power Automate run history retention is actually 30 days (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/limits-and-config). I know the 28 day retention was mentioned in a flow blog post at one point, but I can't find that at the moment. However, I can attest to the 28 day approval history retention from personal experience.
