Clean up and export activities

You can delete activities from before a specified date in order to remove outdated content from Collaboration. This makes the feed overview more transparent. To archive this data, you can create an export. These elements are stored in the export: Comments, tags including hashtags and system tags, external links, links to models, bookmarks, likes, etc.
