Which of the following statements about Slack's message retention is correct?

Messages are retained for 90 days
Messages can be automatically deleted after a set time
Messages are retained indefinitely unless manually deleted
Messages are only retained if they require export

The correct answer is: Messages are retained indefinitely unless manually deleted

The statement that messages are retained indefinitely unless manually deleted accurately reflects Slack's message retention policy. By default, Slack retains messages for as long as the workspace owner has configured the retention settings. This means that unless a workspace's message retention policy is altered or unless messages are manually deleted by users, they will remain in the channel or direct message history indefinitely. Organizations using Slack can choose to implement their own policies regarding message retention, including options to retain messages for a limited time or to automatically delete them. However, the default setting assumes indefinite retention unless explicitly changed or items are manually removed. This flexibility allows teams to manage their data according to their specific needs while adhering to compliance and regulatory requirements when necessary.
