Sorry if I wasn't clear enough. What I mean is that if in 3 years my company needs to have access to some logs, they will have to go through the multi-steps process but then have access to whatever they need (starting from today's logs)

What I meant was that the possibility to access private chats should stay not retroactive and only happen once the company has explicitly stated it will need this feature enabled.

EDIT: so that if my company has no legal needs today it won't have access to private chats made today once they decide in the future that they now need the feature

That is how it works. "It’s worth repeating – Compliance Exports are not retroactive and do not apply to past private conversations before the feature is enabled."
I did not understand the sentence that way even after reading multiple times but that seems to make sense now. I must have been too biased when reading it before. Thank you for pointing this out.
