Hey guys, we have been using and testing out temporal for the last couple of weeks, and we were facing an issue. Closed workflows disappear after 1 day or so from the web UI. This doesn’t affect running workflows which are still visible. Is there any configuration that I can do to disable this feature or increase the time workflows are visible within the UI?  
We are using the Typescript SDK, Cassandra for persistence if that’s important

Default [retention](https://docs.temporal.io/concepts/what-is-a-retention-period/) for “default” namespace for docker compose setups using auto-setup image is set to [1 day](https://github.com/temporalio/docker-builds/blob/main/docker/auto-setup.sh#L55).

You can update the retention period via tctl for example:

`tctl --ns <namespace_name> n u --rd 2`

where the retention period (rd) value is in days.  
Note the min retention period is 1 day and max is 30.  
If you need to persist your workflow histories and visibility data past max 30 days you would need to look into using [archival](https://docs.temporal.io/concepts/what-is-archival/).
