For an overview of object locking, review Wasabi Object Lock.

Bucket settings for object locking allow you to place a default object locking policy on objects which are placed into a bucket. These settings are disabled by default and are entirely optional. Changing the settings does not affect any of the existing objects that are inside of the bucket. These settings only apply to objects that are newly placed into the bucket and come with no associated object locking settings.

2. Click on the Object Locking tab.

3. Configure your settings. Click Apply.
