Return to the file received
Submitted originals remain tied to the feed, partner, period, submission, and file details that describe their arrival.
Data retention
Keep the file history that makes recurring exchanges understandable.
Keep submitted files, correction attempts and exchange history together for later review. Access follows your plan and workspace permissions. Plan retention values do not currently trigger automatic deletion; workspace closure, return and deletion are handled through support under the customer terms.

The current answer stays easy to find while the path to it remains visible.
Continuity across every period
Preserve the complete context behind every accepted file.
Recurring exchanges often include corrections, replacements, and review. DTO Flow keeps those decisions connected to the original business period.
Follow correction history
Each later attempt adds to the story, helping teams understand what changed and which submission was ultimately accepted.
Keep handoff context
Validation, acceptance, notifications, downloads, and integration activity stay connected to the recurring exchange they supported.
A durable exchange record
Four kinds of context worth keeping together.
File continuity becomes useful when the original, business status, rules, and activity remain connected.
Submitted originals
Each received file remains a separate submission while it is retained, even after a later attempt arrives.
Business-period history
Attempts remain grouped under the recurring feed and period, with one accepted submission able to represent the current outcome.
Validation context
Validation results stay connected to the expectations used, preserving a clear basis for every decision.
Operational activity
Submission, download, notification, webhook, and configuration views preserve the actions that moved the exchange forward.

Plan for your lifecycle
Build retention expectations into a dependable exchange.
Start with the operational history your team needs, then align the rollout with your organizational, contractual, and regulatory requirements.
- Identify which submitted originals, corrections, validation results, and activity your teams return to during normal work.
- Define any organizational, contractual, or regulatory lifecycle expectations connected to those files and records.
- Review the intended lifecycle with DTO Flow as part of a clear rollout plan.
Buyer questions
Understand what stays available in the workflow.
Does a corrected upload replace the earlier file?
While retained, each submitted file remains a separate submission. A later submission can become current while earlier attempts and their validation history stay connected.
Can users find the accepted file for a period?
Yes. DTO Flow presents the accepted or current submission in its recurring feed and period context while preserving the attempts that came before it.
What activity remains connected to retained files?
Submission, validation, authorized file access, notifications, webhooks, and important configuration history can be reviewed through the relevant activity views.
How should we confirm a required retention schedule?
Contact support with the periods, deletion expectations and review process your organization needs. Displayed plan retention values are not automatic deletion schedules. Workspace closure, return and deletion follow the customer terms; subscription cancellation alone does not delete workspace data.
