Microsoft Purview eDiscovery (Premium): List, collection, and jobs usability enhancements

We’re introducing several usability improvements on list pages, collection details, and job-related detail within the eDiscovery (Premium) service in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 100707.

When this will happen:

Rollout will begin in mid-November and is expected to be complete by mid-December 2022. 

How this will affect your organization:

With these usability enhancements on case overview and list pages, you will be able to identify case formats between “new” and “classic”. You will also see improved empty and error state on list pages with details on actions to take.

With this update, we’ve also made copy collection more user friendly by including the source collection name in the copied collection name by default. You will be able to freely update/modify the collection name based on the default name of “Copied from <source collection name>”. This makes the new collection easily linked to the original source collection without losing reference of the original collection.

On the collection detail flyout pane for committed collections, the target review set name is also shown to facilitate the ease of tracking where the content has gone to in the eDiscovery workflow. Review set will also be available as a column in the collections list to improve ease of use. 

Jobs-related updates include cleaned up jobs name as well inclusion of job duration detail to inform customers on the hours/minutes the jobs ran from start to completion (successful or errored jobs).

What you need to do to prepare:

No action is required to enable these usability updates. You may want to notify your users about these changes, and if your training and documentation contains screenshots of the current views, you might want to update the contents with the updated views.
