Data Transfer: New User Interface in ARM

2026-04-16 | Data Transfer

We’ve refreshed the ARM user interface, and this redesign isn’t just about looks — it’s about making your experience smoother, faster, and more intuitive from start to finish. We improved job progress visibility, added an early issue detection validation step to help catch potential issues before they cause delays, and updated the summary page to show more detailed insights. We’ve also refreshed the skipped or missing files experience to help you navigate which issues need to be resolved and how to do it.

Legal Hold: Send communications from Service Accounts/Shared Mailboxes without logging In

2026-04-16 | Legal Hold

We’ve added a new option for Graph API email configuration to support application permissions. Now, you can send Legal Hold communications from a service account or shared mailbox without logging into that mailbox. This enables secure, compliant automation while reducing authentication interruptions from password changes, MFA, and reauthentication cycles. This functionality is supported for Microsoft Commercial tenants only.

Permissions: Feature Permissions Modernization

2026-04-16 | Permissions

We're modernizing how feature access is managed by making each Feature Permission the single control point for enabling or disabling a feature. Administrators can now manage access in one place with built-in alignment tools. This creates a clearer, more predictable permissions experience and reduces granularity.

Collect: Microsoft 365 Outlook Inactive Mailbox Connector

2026-03-18 | Collect

Collect now supports the collection of inactive M365 mailboxes through a new connector. Collect automatically creates a Purview case, exports the mailbox to a .PST file, and transfers that file directly to your Staging Area for processing. This change minimizes potential data-handling errors and gets data into the review process faster by eliminating manual export.

Processing: Office 2024 Impact on EML Appointment Files

2025-09-02 | Processing

With Microsoft deprecating Office 2016, RelativityOne is upgrading Processing and Imaging capabilities to use Office 2024 through a phased rollout in September.

Data Management: Cold Storage determined based on Workspace State

2025-08-05 | Data Management

Going forward, both the billing logic and the functionality of moving a workspace to Cold Storage will rely exclusively on the system-defined "Workspace State" field. The customer-defined "Status" field will no longer influence workspace behavior or billing. This will eliminate inconsistencies caused by dual tracking and ensure that only system-controlled fields determine Cold Storage state.
