Microsoft is enhancing its Purview compliance portal with new features in the eDiscovery tool. Imagine eDiscovery as a digital detective that helps you find and manage important electronic information for legal cases. These enhancements make the detective's job easier and more efficient.

One of the new features is a detailed view of all the data sources at the case level. Think of it like having a map that shows you exactly where all your clues are located, so you don't miss anything important. This makes it easier to see the big picture and ensure that all relevant information is considered.

Another improvement is the ability to retry failed locations. Imagine you're searching for clues in a series of rooms, and some doors are locked. This feature is like having a master key that lets you go back and check those locked rooms again, ensuring you have a complete picture of the evidence.

Users can now also view process reports across all cases. This is similar to having a summary report of all your detective work, showing you what has been done and what still needs attention. It helps keep everything organized and ensures nothing falls through the cracks.

The ability to duplicate searches and copy searches from hold or hold from search within the same case is like having a template for your detective work. If you find a method that works well, you can reuse it without starting from scratch each time, saving time and effort.

Lastly, the enhancements include more comprehensive reporting. This is akin to having a detailed dossier that includes all the important information about your case, such as compliance boundaries and encryption settings. It ensures you have all the necessary details at your fingertips.

These updates aim to streamline the eDiscovery process, making it more efficient and effective for users who need to manage electronic information for legal purposes.
