Legal Holds are available as a part of Box's Governance package. Use legal holds to place a hold on users and content related to a litigation or investigation. This hold prevents any content pertinent to the legal matter from being permanently deleted.
You can place legal holds on the following:
- Custodians
- A managed user in your enterprise
- The policy holds everything within your organization that person either has access to (owned or collaborated into) or has interacted with (including via shared link), optionally constrained by a selected date range.
- Folder
- File (API only)
Custodian actions that trigger Legal Hold

- Box Note is opened
- Item is sent to trash (if the folder is trashed, all items within the folder are held)
- File is moved or copied
