Retention, export and deletion

Settings → Data holds three dials, a download, and a way to erase one site’s history.

The Data section of Settings. Three fields: days the site keeps its log set to 45, events the site keeps at most set to 9,000, and days ReDock Web keeps its own records set to 120, each with the range it accepts underneath, and a Save and tell the sites button.

Dial What it sets Range
Days the site keeps its log how long the site’s own record lives, on the site 7 to 365
Events the site keeps at most the ceiling, whichever comes first 1,000 to 50,000
Days ReDock Web keeps its records how long Activity lives here 30 to 400

The first two are the site’s, and saving them asks every connected site to keep the new numbers, one site at a time.

Because the numbers travel to the sites, the page shows what each one answered.

A What the sites said panel: three sites and their answers. One is Done and keeping the new numbers. One Needs attention because it runs a ReDock Connect older than the version the setting needs. One Failed because the site did not answer. A button offers to carry on with the other four sites.

Each press asks at most 25 sites, so a long list takes several. Nothing is lost between presses: the number is already saved here, and the next press carries on from where the last one stopped.

A site whose ReDock Connect predates the version that carries this setting keeps ReDock’s default until it is updated, and the page says which sites those are.

Download everything gives you one JSON file, in the order a person would read it: the workspace, its sites and client groups, the people in it and their roles, the invitations still open, the whole audit trail newest first, the daily counts per site, the jobs and their steps, the report and branding settings, the AI policy, and these dials.

A Download everything button, above a line saying that downloading is recorded in the activity trail as workspace dot export, so the workspace can see when a copy was taken and by whom.

It carries no keys and no secrets. A site’s wrapped signing key, an API token’s hash and an invitation’s token are named as things that exist and never printed.

Downloading is recorded in the activity trail as workspace.export, so the workspace can see when a copy was taken and by whom.

The Per site panel: three sites with their ReDock Connect versions and when they last answered, each with an Erase history button, above a line saying erasing a site’s history deletes what ReDock kept about it and leaves the connection, the site’s own log and the activity trail, and that ending the connection itself is Revoke on the site’s own page.

Erasing a site’s history deletes what ReDock kept about it. It leaves three things alone: the connection, the site’s own log, and the activity trail.

To end the connection itself, use Revoke on the site’s own page, or revoke the key from the site’s wp-admin. See Connect a site.

Deleting your ReDock account is on Your account, and the confirm page lists what happens before anything does. See Look after a site’s security.
