 The `PVCProtection` plugin adds the `kubernetes.io/pvc-protection` finalizer to newly created Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs). In case a user deletes a PVC the PVC is not removed until the finalizer is removed from the PVC by PVC Protection Controller. Refer to the [PVC Protection](/docs/concepts/storage/persistent-volumes/#persistent-volume-claim-protection) for more detailed information.

 Once a user has a claim and that claim is bound, the bound PV belongs to the user for as long as they need it. Users schedule Pods and access their claimed PVs by including a `persistentVolumeClaim` in their Pod's volumes block. [See below for syntax details](#claims-as-volumes).

 The purpose of the PVC protection is to ensure that PVCs in active use by a pod are not removed from the system as this may result in data loss.
 
 **Note:** PVC is in active use by a pod when the the pod status is `Pending` and the pod is assigned to a node or the pod status is `Running`.

-When the [PVC protection alpha feature](/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/pvc-protection/) is enabled, if a user deletes a PVC in active use by a pod, the PVC is not removed immediately. PVC removal is postponed until the PVC is no longer actively used by any pods.
+When the [PVC protection beta feature](/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/pvc-protection/) is enabled, if a user deletes a PVC in active use by a pod, the PVC is not removed immediately. PVC removal is postponed until the PVC is no longer actively used by any pods.
 
 You can see that a PVC is protected when the PVC's status is `Terminating` and the `Finalizers` list includes `kubernetes.io/pvc-protection`:

-1. [Admission controller](/docs/admin/admission-controllers/) must be started with the [PVC Protection plugin](/docs/admin/admission-controllers/#persistent-volume-claim-protection-alpha).
-2. All Kubernetes components must be started with the `PVCProtection` alpha features enabled.
+- A v1.10 or higher Kubernetes must be installed.
+- The PVC Protection feature is enabled by default in Kubernetes v1.10 so it does not have to be enabled manually.
