 # Data retention and archive in Azure Monitor Logs
 
-Data is retained in Azure Monitor Logs in two modes:
-* **Interactive Retention**: Allow you to retain Analytics logs for [interactive queries](../logs/get-started-queries.md) of up to 2 years.
-* **Archive**: Let you keep older, less used data in your workspace at a reduced cost. Data in archive can be accessed by [Search Jobs](../logs/search-jobs.md) and [Restore](../logs/restore.md). You can keep in Archive logs up to 7 years. In the coming months, it would be possible to extend archive to 12 years.

 ### Adjustments to retention and archive settings
 
-When you shorten an existing retention setting, Azure Monitor waits 30 days before removing the data, so you can revert the change and prevent data loss in the event of an error in configuration. You can [purge data](#purge-retained-data) immediately when required. 
+When you shorten an existing retention setting, Azure Monitor waits 30 days before removing the data, so you can revert the change and avoid data loss in the event of an error in configuration. You can [purge data](#purge-retained-data) immediately when required. 
 
 When you increase the retention setting, the new retention period applies to all data that's already been ingested into the table and hasn't yet been purged or removed.   
 
 If you change the archive settings on a table with existing data, the relevant data in the table is also affected immediately. For example, you might have an existing table with 180 days of interactive retention and no archive period. You decide to change the retention setting to 90 days of interactive retention without changing the total retention period of 180 days. Log Analytics immediately archives any data that's older than 90 days and none of the data is deleted.

 ## Configure the default workspace retention
 
-You can set the workspace default retention in the Azure portal to 30, 31, 60, 90, 120, 180, 270, 365, 550, and 730 days.

 By default, all tables in your workspace inherit the workspace's interactive retention setting and have no archive. You can modify the retention and archive settings of individual tables, except for workspaces in the legacy Free Trial pricing tier.
 
-The Analytics log data plan includes 30 days of interactive retention. You can increase the interactive retention period to up to 730 days at an [additional cost](https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/details/monitor/). If needed, you can reduce the interactive retention period to as low as four days using the API or CLI, however, since 30 days are included in the ingestion price, lowering the retention period below 30 days does not reduce costs. You can set the archive period to a total retention time of up to 2,556 days (seven years).

 **Example**
 
 This example sets the table's interactive retention to the workspace default of 30 days, and the total retention to two years, which means that the archive duration is 23 months.
