Managing data in Archive is done through Retention and Purge Policies. This article explores the differences between them and shows how to set up a view to identify the trigger that removed data from Archive.
Overview As you begin to archive data, you will create an Archiving Policy, which includes a retention option. Both Retention and Purge processes permanently delete records from the Archive.
The retention period, defined in the Archiving Policy, is a field specifying how long a record should be kept based on legal requirements or according to set criteria.
The Purge Policy is an ad hoc way of creating more complex purge criteria that overrides the original expiration date defined by retention when the data was archived according to the retention period.

In the Archive Activities tab, you can view whether a record was purged via the retention period defined in the Archive Policy, or purged via a Purge Policy
