Review Center: Anonymize Reviewer Names in Review Center Tables and Charts
2025-04-24 | Review Center
To address certain governmental and geographical restrictions, this new optional setting will anonymize reviewer names in all tables and charts on the Review Center dashboard. Please note, anonymous names assigned to users will not be static; upon page refresh or new session, names will be re-anonymized.
Relativity aiR for Review: Increase Job Size Limits
2025-04-21 | aiR for Review
We’ve increased aiR for Review’s maximum job size to 150,000 documents and the limit for documents per instance to 600,000. This update, combined with recent throughput improvements, will streamline document processing and boost review efficiency.
Production: Apply Production Branding to PDFs
2025-04-08 | Production
This new capability allows you to brand stored PDFs directly within RelativityOne during Production. By enabling the same process for both image and PDF productions, it simplifies workflows and eliminates the need for third-party tools post-Production. This enhancement increases efficiency and consistency, saving you time and reducing the complexity of managing multiple tools during the Production process.
Review Center: Saved Models
2025-03-27 | Review Center

Usage Reports: Enhanced Permissions
2025-03-24 | Usage Reports
We have updated Usage Reports Instance Level permissions. There are now two permissions:
-
View Client Domain Usage Reports (Current Permission renamed)
-
View Instance-wide Usage Reports (New permission)
Users assigned the 'View Client Domain Usage Reports' instance permission will be able to create Usage Reports across the workspaces they have access to. Users assigned the 'View Instance-wide Usage Reports' permission will be able to create Usage Reports across the whole instance (every workspace) without requiring access to those workspaces. This change will allow users with minimal permissions to generate reports that contain metrics from all workspaces.
Redact: Inverse Redactions
2025-03-06 | Redact
We’ve introduced capabilities to more easily track removed markup in spreadsheets through our new inverse markups. These replace reversion functionality and make removed markups easier to find. Inverse markups are identified and can be viewed in the Markup Review card in the Redact Markup Navigator, allowing for more efficient filtering and streamlining your ability to review and QC your data.
Relativity aiR for Privilege: Client Brain Enhancements
2025-02-15 | aiR for Privilege
We’ve introduced significant updates to Relativity aiR for Privilege’s Client Brain. Now, additional annotation decisions (Disclaimers, Spammers, Domains, Equivalent Domains, Entities, and Aliases) are stored in the Client Brain at the end of each project. This improvement streamlines the setup process and reduces the time spent annotating in future matters. Additionally, multiple Client Brains can now be supported under the same Client Object, enabling customers to better manage annotator decisions and flexibly apply stored knowledge across diverse use cases. These enhancements eliminate redundancies in the annotation decision process, while also increasing user control over Client Brain knowledge when working on new or diverse projects.

This capability significantly enhances user autonomy and reduces downtime in communication workflows.
Relativity Contracts: Essential Fields Model Powered by Generative AI
2024-10-24 | Relativity Contracts
The new Contracts Essential Fields Model capability expands the AI-driven auto-population of contract fields beyond Contract Title and Contract Type to over a dozen key fields including, but not limited to, Parties, Effective Date, Expiration Date, Renewal Term, and Governing Law. With a focus on transparency and defensibility, Contracts hyperlinks field values to citations in contracts and populates rationale fields where appropriate. This enhancement saves you time and resources by reducing the need for manual entry, custom model training, or RegEx, ultimately improving margins on contract review projects and enabling more competitive pricing to win bids.
Updates to RelativityOne Support Groups
2024-10-24 | Security Center
Support groups created in RelativityOne will now be named after the ticket ID, with a 'time to live' tied to the ticket's status. This ensures groups are automatically deleted once the ticket is closed, preventing accidental lockbox bypass and providing customers with clear visibility into why Relativity employees need access to their instance.
Processing: Publish Documents with Field Length Warnings**
2024-10-15 | Processing
This latest enhancement allows documents with field metadata length issues to be published to RelativityOne without errors, excluding the problematic fields temporarily. This reduces friction and increases flexibility during the publish process, allowing you to get your documents into review faster.
Relativity Contracts: Now Using Relativity OCR
2024-10-02 | Relativity Contracts
We are replacing the OCR in Relativity Contracts with the more advanced Relativity OCR, which improves accuracy, increases speed, supports additional languages, and enhances the handling of multi-column contracts and auto-rotation of images.

The new Processing Set layout is now the default view and ensures comprehensive visibility into your Processing jobs.
Legal Hold: Google Mail Authentication
2024-09-11 | Legal Hold
Customers that use Google Basic Authentication for SMTP will need to transition to Google OAuth (Modern Authentication) by September 30, 2024. Failure to do so could result in the inability to send or receive Legal Hold notices via Google Mail. For more information on how to update your settings, please refer to our documentation page.
Staging Boundary Updates: Data Transfer
2024-08-28 | Data Transfer
Changes to our Staging boundaries will be implemented beginning in September. With this change, you will no longer be able to write to or access data outside of the defined staging area. To better align with this initiative, we are updating some of our data transfer tools:
-
Integration Points will support direct imports and exports to the StructuredData folder.
-
Import/Export will support direct uploads of raw (unprocessed) data to the ProcessingSource folder and exports to the StructuredData folder within the Staging area.
Inline Editing
2024-08-27 | List Page
You can now easily edit fields inline directly from the document list page, eliminating the need to enter a coding layout or use a mass action to make changes. For users with permission, this intuitive editing capability introduces a new "edit mode" that bolds and highlights editable fields, reduces the chance of accidental edits, and auto-saves to ensure your desired changes are captured.
Processing: Mass Replace Errored Files
2024-08-22 | Processing
You can now replace multiple files at once that have been previously downloaded and modified outside of Relativity to remediate issues such as DRM encryption and data corruption. The new 'Mass Replace for Errored files' will now automatically perform the matching and replacement, significantly reducing the time and effort needed to replace files, from 30 minutes to just one minute per 100 files.
Processing: Track Exceptions as Errors and Warnings
2024-07-23 | Processing
You can now distinguish between expected issues (encryption, file corruptions, etc.) and unexpected (environmental, Input/Output problems, etc.) so you can better target remediation efforts after a job has completed. This creates a more targeted and specific workflow on error resolution, as you will be able to see which issues should be retried and which require manual resolution.
Name Normalization Improvements
2024-07-18 | Structured Analytics
We've adjusted how Name Normalization merges entities, reducing the likelihood that separate entities are incorrectly merged. These changes include putting more emphasis on the proper names of email participants, a new workflow to allow customers to identify entities that should be merged, new logic that address "undefined" aliases, and a UI option to exclude specific emails from analysis.
Structured Analytics documentation
Conduct Coverage Review
2024-07-18 | Review Center
You can now easily conduct coverage review in Review Center. By simply toggling on "coverage mode" when you begin a prioritized review queue, Review Center will sort documents in alignment with coverage review workflows, serving up mid-ranked documents first so that the AI classifier can learn from those coding decisions and train as quickly as possible.
Update Required for Staging Explorer
2024-07-09 | Data Transfer
A new version of Staging Explorer (26.37.8.1) is now available in RelativityOne that introduces new reporting features and performance enhancements. Please update your instance as soon as possible, as forced updates will begin on August 21.
