What can the Data Cloud's deletion option affect if not managed properly?

The deletion option in Data Cloud can significantly impact important audit information if not managed properly. Audit information serves as a record of changes made to data, tracking who made changes, when they were made, and what the changes entailed. This audit trail is crucial for compliance, accountability, and transparency in data management.

When data is deleted without careful consideration, it may also result in the loss of these critical records, making it difficult or impossible to trace historical data changes or actions taken within the system. This can lead to challenges in maintaining compliance with regulations, understanding historical contexts, and resolving disputes related to data revisions.

Effective management of deletion options ensures that essential audit data is preserved, safeguarding the integrity of the data management process and fostering confidence among stakeholders regarding the accuracy and reliability of the information stored.
