How does Letterhead automatically delete old curations?

Automatic deletion keeps your Curations library fresh without manual cleanup: each content source can clear out its old items on a schedule you choose — set it and forget it.

By default, curations are deleted after 30 days. You can pick a different schedule per source based on your content refresh needs.

Set the deletion schedule for a source

1. Open Curations and go to the RSS Feeds tab.
2. For an existing source — select it, scroll to Automatically delete old curations in the side panel, choose the number of days from the dropdown, and click Update feed.
3. For a new source — click Add Feed, set the same option while configuring the feed, and click Add feed.

Picking a schedule

• Short (1–7 days) for fast-paced, news-based sources, so your library only shows current stories.
• Longer (14–30 days) for evergreen content that stays useful over time.

If you delete too aggressively and need old items back, remember a feed reset re-curates everything currently in the feed.
