What is changing? Workspaces’ data, including files, messages, and other content that is older than one year will no longer be stored. Free workspaces will continue to have full access to the past 90 days of message history and file storage. This change will not impact workspaces on other plans, such as Slack Pro. When will this take effect? This policy will begin taking effect August 26th, 2024. Workspaces will be notified prior to the policy impacting their workspace. What does this mean for you? Your workspace, {NAME} , is on a free Slack plan. This workspace has content that is older than one year which will be deleted once the policy takes effect. Moving forward, Slack will not retain messages and files older than one year for a workspace. This policy will impact your workspace starting August 26th, 2024. To retain access to content older than a year, the workspace needs to be on a paid Slack plan. These plans can be reviewed on our [plan page](. Free teams will continue to retain access to messages and content sent in the last 90 days. If your team chooses to upgrade to a paid plan after the policy goes into effect, you will not be able to recover any content that has been deleted under our new policy.
