Hello,

I need to expand the tombstone to 365 days

Is it safe?

I have been able to see this URL, but I am afraid of breaking something.

    Hi,

    Increase the the tombstone lifetime can be used as a method for troubleshooting the replication issue.
    But it will not be recommended to keep the long period (365 days) in your domain.
    More information for your reference:
