Message in Document Retention Policy section

“You can enable a document retention policy to set the number of days that completed, declined, and voided documents are kept”.  The value goes up to up to 9,999 days.

But in the help page it states “If you choose to set a retention period, any affected envelopes are placed in a purge queue for 14 days, after which the documents in the envelopes are deleted from the DocuSign system.“

Question: If I enter “5” under “Keep for this many days” with the files be purged in 5 days or 14 days or 14+5 days (19)?  Please clarify. 

Hello @DHCole99 

 

You’re right about the total retention time as used in your example.

Here an excerpt from a DocuSign Whitepaper about Retention Policy:
