The other day, I was building out some Power Automate flows to test the process I was building for a custom disposition. When I went to assign the flow to the retention label, I find that the custom flow is missing from the retention label flow selection list. The fix is pretty straightforward, and Microsoft does mention it, but I felt it necessary to pull it out and flag it directly in case others have the same issue.
When an organization no longer requires content, it should be disposed of. There are a variety of reasons to do this. The most common one is to free up space within the environment. Other reasons for disposition include (but are not limited to):
- Regulatory or legal policies requiring disposal of content.
- Duplication of similar content
- Users referencing old content because it still exists
- Freedom of Information requests (Government) returning content no longer viable
Microsoft 365 provides different options to dispose of content via its Purview records management feature. The most common process requires users to review the content before it is fully disposed of.
