 ## Set retention and archive policy by table
 
-You can set retention policies for individual tables, except for workspaces in the legacy Free Trial pricing tier, using Azure Resource Manager APIs. You can’t currently configure data retention for individual tables in the Azure portal.
+By default, all tables in your workspace inherit the workspace's interactive retention setting and have no archive policy. You can modify the retention and archive policies of individual tables, except for workspaces in the legacy Free Trial pricing tier.
 
 You can keep data in interactive retention between 4 and 730 days. You can set the archive period for a total retention time of up to 2,555 days (seven years). 
 
-Each table is a subresource of the workspace it's in. For example, you can address the `SecurityEvent` table in [Azure Resource Manager](../../azure-resource-manager/management/overview.md) as:
