How do I manage storage costs and version retention in S3?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you plan to use an existing S3 bucket for Legal Hold data storage, and your existing S3 bucket has versioning enabled, we strongly recommend using a dedicated S3 bucket with versioning disabled.

The Legal Hold plugin frequently modifies files in the ``legalhold`` directory, and when S3 bucket versioning is enabled, each modification creates a new version. This can result in a rapid accumulation of object versions, increased storage costs, potential performance impact, higher S3 API usage, and complicating version management over time. See the `S3 Lifecycle Rules <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/object-lifecycle-mgmt.html>`_ documentation for additional details.
