Is there a retention period for Confluence page version history?

[acam]

Hello, I am curious about the retention period for version history on Confluence pages. Are the versions stored indefinitely unless manually deleted, or is there a set retention period? This page (https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-history-and-page-comparison-views-139379.html) implies that versions are stored forever, but I wanted to confirm. Thanks!

shhhhh don't give them any ideas...

They are stored forever unless you specifically delete them.

@acam First, note that the page you linked through https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-history-and-page-comparison-views-139379.html is written for Confluence Data Center! If you are using Cloud, then some parts may be different.

Having said that, Confluence page versions are not auto-deleted on Cloud!
