M365 Changelog: Microsoft Purview compliance portal: Modern eDiscovery enhancements – Mar 5, 2025

MC1024388 – Microsoft is excited to announce several enhancements to the recently launched modernized eDiscovery experience. These updates include:

• Case Level Data Source View: Users can now access the case level data source view, which allows them to add data sources to the current case. These sources can be utilized in any searches or holds within the case.
• Enhanced Search and Hold Capabilities: Users will have the ability to duplicate a search, create a search from an existing hold, or create a hold from an existing search within the current case.
• Retry Failed Locations: The search statistics view now includes the option to retry failed locations, providing a more comprehensive search estimate.
• Detailed Process Reports: Microsoft is adding information related to compliance boundaries, case/export/search names, and decryption settings into the relevant process report CSVs.
• Tenant level process manager: This report will show all processes across eDiscovery cases for eDiscovery administrators and eDiscovery managers.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 482558.

When this will happen:
