This instructor led course will teach you how-to use Microsoft Purview eDiscovery tools in detail.

Learn how to carry out investigations across Microsoft 365 data for Information Requests, DSARS, FOI requests and other purposes.

Microsoft 365 includes 4 different search tools:

  • Content Search 
  • eDiscovery (Standard) 
  • eDiscovery (premium) 
  • User Data Search 

All of which can be used to find information stored across SharePoint, Teams, Exchange and Viva Engage.

This short course will teach you how to use all four of these tools with special focus on the use of eDiscovery (Premium) to support your investigation requirements.

eDiscovery (Premium) provides an end-to-end workflow to preserve, collect, analyse, review, and export content in response to your organisation’s internal and external investigations. It also includes features to manage the entire legal hold notification workflow, to communicate with custodians involved in a case.

By collecting data from the source with the eDiscovery tools, you can search the live Microsoft 365 platform to quickly find what you need. Intelligent, machine learning capabilities such as deep indexing, email threading, and near duplicate detection also help you reduce large volumes of data to a relevant data set.

This short course covers the entire process end-to-end including: 

  • Search setup 
  • Results refinement 
  • Content hold 
  • Export and communication.
