Do we need to keep DNS txt record

[Patrick Renckens]

We have verified our Domain with a DNS txt record. Once the verification is all complete can we remove the DNS record just to clean things up?

Hello @Patrick Renckens,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

After the domain is verified, it’s necessary to keep the DNS txt record because it’s periodically checked to confirm everything is set up correctly and for the domain to keep verified. 

For more information, please check the documentation below:

• Verify a domain to manage accounts

After verification is successful, we'll periodically check your DNS host for the txt record. If someone deletes or updates the txt record with incorrect information, we'll send you an email letting you know that you have a certain amount of time to update the txt record. If you don't, your domain will lose its verification status and any security policies for that domain, including SAML single sign-on, won't be effective.

Kind regards,
Angélica

@Patrick Renckens Welcome to community.  I am not sure and was not able to find anything in documentation.  I would think once verified you could remove but I do not know that for sure.  I will escalate to Atlassian for further clarification.
