Temporary artifacts expire
Upload-backed input and output files are temporary artifacts tied to a job. They are not meant to be a persistent file library, project history, or account storage.
Temporary files
Delete and expiry for temporary jobs
Temporary server jobs are for conversion output, not file storage. Use the result, download what you need, and delete the job when you are finished.

What to know
Delete when done
When a tool offers delete controls, use them after downloading the result. Deleting a completed job should remove the temporary artifacts associated with that job from the active workflow.
Recent job restore is limited
Browser restore features should store only job references such as a job id, not raw uploaded file content. If a job expires or is deleted, restore cannot recreate the original file.
Ads and controls stay separated
Manual ad slots stay disabled during approval review, and ad placement should stay away from upload zones, primary controls, result controls, downloads, and delete actions.
