The vast majority of global enterprise business Electronically Stored Information (ESI) is created, managed and stored in Microsoft 365 cloud or on-premise applications. Microsoft product management, developers and partners have accelerated the pace of development and created an information lag for eDiscovery and governance professionals. The Microsoft online documentation is primarily written for technical administrators rather than end users.

The eDJ Geek Guides are meant as an evergreen community resource to find, share and amend best known information that may impact your legal holds, collections, records management and other workflows.

Readers and site members are invited to use the feedback form (anyone) or comments (registered) to ask questions and provide corrections/feedback. The sheer pace of modern development leave documentation and ‘best practices’ behind. All information provided is based on best available information at the time with the expectation that it will be frequently updated with active testing, research and your input. The Guides are open for contributions that can be anonymous or credited.
