Starting the discovery process

Collecting content that might be relevant to a legal matter is the first step in the discovery process. Generally, each case in eDiscovery Manager corresponds to a single legal matter, whether a regulatory inquiry, pending litigation, or an internal investigation. A case contains one or more folders, and each folder contains the content resulting from one or more searches.
