Governance (formerly Retention) is a feature that allows you to protect documents from certain actions within Revver for specific periods of time. This powerful feature can allow you to:

  • Protect an item from Deletion

  • Protect an item from being Edited

  • Protect an item from being Moved

  • Protect an item from being Shared

It can do all of these for a specific timeframe, until a specific date, or an indefinite retention period.

How Do I See the Current Governance of an Item?

to see the current governance of an item in Revver, select that item and click the "Governance" menu in the Details Pane

you can see the expiration date, as well as the expiration action

To see additional details click the EDIT button

How Do I Edit Governance?

  1. Select the Edit Button

  2. Select a Change Reason (the Reason you need to change or remove this Governance)

  3. Once you have selected a Change Reason, you can now edit any setting that you would like. the date, action, protection, etc.

  4. don't forget to click SAVE when you're done!

How do I Delete Governance?

  1. Select the Edit Button

  2. Select a Change Reason (the Reason you need to change or remove this Governance)

  3. Now that you have a Change Reason selected, at the bottom of the Governance menu you have the option to 'DELETE'

How do I Create a Change Reason?

A "Change Reason" is for your records and audit trail. It can be used to show the reason that someone would need to change or remove a governance setting. Because Governance is a way to retain your documents, a change reason is ALWAYS required before you can alter a governance setting. If you don't have a change reason set up, you will not be able to edit any governance settings

  1. in your All Features Menu, select Governance

  2. In the 'Add New Change Reason:" text box, type your new change reason then click the "+" Symbol
