The new Purview eDiscovery Hub UX has exited the ‘preview’ stage and is theoretically ready for actual use. The classic eDiscovery UX will be EoL in August 2025, so you have 5 months to adapt your workflows and test the new UX. Since November I and clients have been testing the new hub (when time allows). That testing has given me a much deeper understanding of the advantages and potential pitfalls ahead for peers who assume that Purview operates on the ‘typical’ eDiscovery technology assumptions. My overall take is that almost everything functions ‘as designed’. The key to avoiding inadvertent user mistakes is testing and research to understand what is happening within the UX and underneath the surface at the Graph API level.
I am in prep mode for Legal Week and supporting several hot matters. So the search guide and detailed testing notes many of you have requested will take a bit longer to finalize. I am also working with the Purview team to run down some potential issues experienced in client tenants. The only open issue with significant potential issue involves malformed or truncated PSTs from larger email exports. This is easy to catch in QC and work around with MSG format exports. I will publish an update after the Purview team has time to debug it. As always, trust but verify before relying on any new technology or upgrade.
Legal Week 2025!
My briefing and evening schedule has been filling up but there are a few formal briefing/meeting slots still available here. For those of you coming in Sunday who might want to talk shop, I am going to post up at the McGee Pub starting at 5. Drop through and introduce yourself!
Please join me Tuesday for Mythbusting Collaboration in Complex Litigation: Streamlining Team Comms and Doc Sharing at 3:30 p.m. ET in Trianon Ballroom: Microsoft-supported session to explore how legal teams can streamline document sharing and optimize communication workflows to keep all stakeholders connected and informed.
