Control how long your data is stored
You can control how long Transloadit keeps your Assembly Status JSON.
Since the migration to Cloudflare R2, temporary output files are retained for at least 24 hours, regardless of your JSON retention settings. Immediate file deletion is no longer supported. See the current temporary file retention policy.
By default, the metadata for every Assembly is kept for ninety days. You can choose a shorter period or choose not to save the JSON at all, to match your workflow needs. This setting does not change how long temporary output files are kept.
You can set a global policy at the Workspace level and override it at the Template level for specific use cases. Want to keep the Assembly Status JSON for only a week? Set it to seven days. To avoid retaining the JSON, choose “Do not save”. This does not erase all traces of a Job or delete its temporary output files immediately.
You can find the new settings under the "Settings" page in the sidebar, or on the Template page as "Expiry settings" in the hamburger menu.
Reducing JSON retention may affect Assembly Replay and limit the data available for support and debugging. Keep the data your workflow needs.
Choose wisely and enjoy the new flexibility!
