Automatic movement of boards to Trash
Boards are automatically moved to the Trash on their designated disposition date. If there is no active retention policy affecting the board, its permanent deletion will be determined by the Trash policy.
For example, consider a project board that is designated to move to Trash on July 1, 2025 per the disposition policy and there is no retention policy affecting it. The board will be automatically moved to Trash on July 1, 2025, and permanently deleted on September 29, 2025 per the 90-day Trash policy.
✏️ An active retention policy supersedes the Trash policy. Therefore, the permanent deletion date of the board will follow the Retention policy in place.
User-initiated board deletion
When a board owner moves a board to the Trash, the disposition policy no longer affects the board's lifecycle. If no active retention policies apply to the board, its permanent deletion will follow the Trash policy.
For example, consider an operational plan board scheduled for disposition on October 13, 2024. If the board owner preemptively moves the board to the Trash on May 15, 2024, and there are no active retention policies affecting the board, it will adhere to the Trash policy. The board will be permanently deleted on August 13, 2024, per the 90-day Trash policy.
✏️ If there is an active retention policy affecting the board, this policy will override the Trash policy, setting the permanent deletion date according to the Retention policy.
User-initiated board restoration
When a user restores a board from the Trash, any relevant disposition policy is automatically reapplied. This ensures that the board re-enters its lifecycle with all original policy settings restored.
For example, if a user restores a marketing strategy board from the Trash on June 20, 2024 that earlier had a 1-year disposition policy applicable, this policy is automatically reapplied upon restoration. The board’s new disposition date will be recalculated from the restoration date, setting its updated disposition date to June 20, 2025 or a year from the date when this board was last modified after restoration.
