Retaining annotation data

[davinac85445227]

Are annotations stored within AEM for a certain amount of time? Are they deleted when a new version of the page is created?

If I wanted to access page annotations from previous content page versions will I be able to do that (up to 6 months?)

I believe when you create a new version, they are not carried over. Will test and post back.

annotations are part of the page and are versioned along with the page.

Thank you so much! So, as long as I version the page I can revert back to a previous version and then see those annotations associated with the version of that page. Do you know if there is a max. retention to page versions? If there is an older version form 7 months prior, is that accessible?

It is recommended to run a version purge to prevent the repo from growing endlessly. See Version Purging  for details.
