You can now have granular control over the duration for which Transloadit keeps your Assembly Status JSON and transcoding results.

Until today, the metadata for every Assembly lived for ninety days and every temporary output file lingered for 24 hours – no exceptions. Starting now, you can dial both of these numbers up or down to match your compliance, cost, and workflow needs.

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. Need to erase all traces of a job the moment it finishes? Choose “No Save” for the JSON and enable immediate deletion of temporary files.

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.

Do note that if you purge files right away, features such as Assembly Replay, re-import pipelines, and our support debugging tools will no longer have data to work with.

Choose wisely and enjoy the new flexibility!
