Supersede connection types let you designate a record as the newest or most relevant record within a series of linked records. To configure a supersede connection type to effect disposition, it must be referenced in the cutoff instructions. When a record is superseded, the system triggers the disposition associated to the retention policy.

You can use a supersede connection type to guide users to the latest or most relevant record in a record relationship. A supersede connection type applies to exactly two records, a superseding and a superseded record. You can supersede another superseding record in order to create a chain of records. In a chain of superseding records, a user with the necessary privilege can only remove the connection to a record that is not superseded. Once you establish a superseded connection chain, you can delete a record in the chain without breaking the connections between the remaining connected records.
