"Information management policy settings" link is shown inside a communication site inside one tenant while on another tenant it is missing

Question

I have 2 communication SharePoint sites, inside 2 separate tenants, both have this site collection feature named "Library and Folder Retention" disabled:-

but on one tenant i have "Information management policy settings" showing for libraries and content types, as follow:-

while missing on the other tenant, as follow:-

so why this is happening?

Answer 1

The Library and Folder Based Retention feature allows list administrators to override content type retention schedules and set schedules on libraries and folders.

However, Information management policy settings include not only retention policies, but also Auditing, Barcodes and Labels policies.

Other site features also enable Information management policy settings, such as SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Collection features, SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure, SharePoint Server Standard Site Collection features and Site Policy.
