No, they charged him with sharing documents with unauthorized people.

Do you have a source on that? Every news source I look up just shows "willful retention" which is a slap on the wrist offense in recent history.

It’s in the article:

In a 60-page superseding indictment unveiled Thursday, prosecutors also accused Trump of possessing a highly classified war plan that he shared with people lacking security clearances months after his presidency ended.

I just read through the indictment and while he's only charged with retaining those documents they do have evidence he shared some of them with his staff as well. In the transcript he even says "As president, I could have declassified, but now I can't". What an idiot.
