The Options for a send can be set when the Send is created. They can also be modified at a later time.

The Options are displayed for that send.

Deletion Date

Choose the period of time to keep the Send from the Deletion Date dropdown.

The options range from 1 hour to 30 days. 

Alternatively, choose Custom, then choose the Expiration Date and Time.

Set Deletion Date

The Send will be permanently deleted on the specified date and time. After this time it will be no longer accessible.

This is a Required field. By default, a Send Lifespan is set at 7 days.

When the Deletion Date is reached, the Send is Marked for Deletion. A Delete icon appears beside the Send for a few minutes before it is permanently deleted.

Deleted Items are not stored in the Trash. They are permanently removed from the Vault.
