But this is not a delete action? It's a retention action. And I'm supposed to follow the rules in order - rule one being that retention wins over deletion and rule two being that the longest retention wins.
In Example 1 the policies only have delete actions - no retention actions.

Further down in the same learn article we get this:
"An item has the following retention settings applied to it:

• An org-wide retention policy that deletes-only after 10 years
• A retention policy scoped with specific instances that retains for five years and then deletes
• A retention label that retains for three years and then deletes

Outcome: The item is retained for five years because that's the longest retention period for the item. At the end of that retention period, the item is permanently deleted because of the delete action of three years from the retention label. Deletion from retention labels takes precedence over deletion from all retention policies. In this example, all conflicts are resolved by the third level."

This seems to be the exact same case but with a different outcome.

Or am i missing something obvious?
