Users with the appropriate capabilities can add records, and record folders to a hold to freeze them. A hold allows objects on hold for a particular reason to be tracked as a set. Holds prevent changes to on hold objects, which have their retention schedules suspended until the hold is removed. When you add a folder to a hold, all records within the folder are also added to the hold.
The selected records and/or folders remain in their place in the File Plan. They are also shown in the Holds area of the explorer panel.
Note: To remove a record from a hold hover over it in the File Plan or the
Holds area and select Remove from Hold. You can remove more than one record at a time by
selecting your items and then clicking the Selected Items
drop down list and then Remove from Hold.
