Retention matters more on AskEditor than on a typical media API, because of
the editable canvas: a delivered canvas can reference your original
uploads directly (that’s what makes it losslessly editable). If the
source material expires, the mp4 remains but parts of the canvas would
degrade. Read this page before building retention-sensitive workflows.
Current policy
- Material (your uploads): retained while your account is active.
- Rendered outputs (
finalUrl): retained; a canvas always keeps the flat mp4 as its fallback, so a canvas remains a working video even if a referenced source disappears. - Canvases: live in your account like any project; open and edit them any time.
- Deletion: deleting material from your library removes it from storage; canvases referencing it fall back to their flat render.
