What the notice says

Microsoft’s text, safely structured

Updated January 9, 2025: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

A modernized new user experience (UX) for Microsoft Purview eDiscovery will be available in the Purview portal. In this new UX experience, Content Search, eDiscovery Standard, and eDiscovery Premium are unified so that users can now navigate a shared workflow that simplifies the transition between non-premium and premium features. This UX modernization also introduces features that enhance the eDiscovery process. Some of these new features include:

  • This new experience enhances Content Search security by placing all searches in an eDiscovery case. eDiscovery administrators and managers will have default access, with the ability to manage membership and control access to content searches. Users who are not eDiscovery administrators or managers will need to request to be added as case member in order to access content search.
  • Enhanced search efficiency with message ID and sensitivity labels for faster access to information.
  • Use of the improved search by Sensitive Information Type (SIT) interface for user-friendly selection without manual input.
  • Advanced Data Source Mapping allows linking a user's OneDrive using input such as the user's mailbox Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) address or user’s name, streamlining data retrieval and management.
  • Acceleration through powerful investigation capabilities, such as user's frequent collaborators, providing a comprehensive view of the user's networks.
  • Data Source Sync: Stay updated with the new Data Source synchronization feature, which allows users to easily track any new or removed data locations, ensuring that eDiscovery investigations remain aligned with the latest data source landscape.
  • Introduction of the new visual Statistics allows users to gain insights at a glance (such as Results containing Sensitive Information Types, top communication participants, etc.)
  • Monitor long-running processes with an informed and transparent progress bar with the option to cancel (for certain process types) if needed.
  • Obtain a full process report for all actions taken, such as statistics for holds and exports, bolstering the defensibility of your eDiscovery efforts.
  • Customize your exports with new settings, including the option to export as a single PST file path truncation and the use of friendly names to make exported data more accessible.
