A LITTLE LIFE GUIDE / GUIDE

Keep spending history after source retention changes

Your dashboard depends on the source records that remain in the workspace.

Your dashboard depends on the source records that remain in the workspace. Review retention before using OneTap as a long-term reference for your recorded bills.

THE LITTLE THING TO REMEMBER

A useful history requires a deliberate retention and original-document plan.

01

Start with the source

New workspaces keep records until you delete them, while older workspaces retain their previous retention choice. Open Settings and inspect Source retention rather than assuming a new version changed the policy of an existing workspace.

02

Make the review useful

Expiry is applied when the workspace opens or resumes. Expiring or deleting a source removes its record from the dashboard, even though derived actions can remain. A task title alone is not a complete replacement for the bill metadata.

03

Keep the next step clear

Export important information before a deliberate cleanup, and keep original documents where completeness matters. Workspace exports are plain JSON and may include saved image previews, so store exported files with the privacy their content deserves.

PUT IT INTO PRACTICE

One step at a time.

ONE MORE QUESTION

Why did an old bill disappear from the dashboard?

Its source may have expired or been deleted; inspect retention settings and any original documents or exports you kept.

Your source stays the reference.
