Beginning February 2026, Microsoft Dataverse will no longer support configuring deleted-records keeping at the individual table level. Deleted records will now be managed consistently at the environment level for all tables.
How does this affect me?
You will no longer be able to configure deleted‑records keeping per table. All supported tables will follow the single environment‑level setting accessible from Feature Management, helping improve governance, consistency, and reliable data management.
What do I need to do to prepare?
No action is required on your part. When the table‑level option is removed, keeping deleted records will be automatically enabled for all supported tables if your environment‑level setting is turned on for deleted records. Environments where the environment‑level setting is off will remain unchanged.
