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.
Mass PDF Permissions**
2024-09-19 | Review
System admins can now assign document-level permissions for Mass PDF actions, including creating, deleting, downloading, and numbering PDFs.

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.
Streamline your redaction workflow with Façade Redactions
2024-01-23 | Redact
Marking up and producing natives just got easier with facade redactions. With this streamlined workflow, you no longer need to run a production preparation project for native documents, you can toggle markup transparency within the viewer, and you no longer need to manage redacted natives in a locked state for production.
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 in Review Center
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

Download Rendered PDF Document
2024-05-23 | PDF Viewer
You are now able to download a rendered PDF directly from the Viewer. This feature, similar to the existing download Native function, allows you to pull down and share the rendered PDF outside of RelativityOne if desired.
Track Coding Decisions with Review Center Coding Field
2024-04-25 | Review Center
We’ve implemented a new field in Review Center called Review Center Coding to help users track coding decisions made on documents in queues. You will now be able to easily see which documents were reviewed in which queues, when, and by which reviewer.
Introducing the New Document List Page
2024-04-16 | List Page
We've modernized our document list page to provide you with a more performant, secure, and seamless experience. With this enhancement, you can now freeze columns as you scroll and copy column values to your keyboard directly from the list. You'll also notice a new design to our browser, search, and document preview panels with collapsible panels for more intuitive control. Finally, we've removed the ability to access the cluster browser directly from the list page, but you can still access it through widgets and dashboards.
Automatic Teams to RSMF Conversion
2024-04-16 | Short Message
Teams messages will now be automatically detected from your PST files during Processing and converted to RSMF with all the metadata needed for your review.

2024-03-25 | Security Center
The lockbox states are now automatically surfaced and controllable in the Security Center, allowing you to more easily configure these states depending on your needs.
Load File Enhancements
2024-03-05 | Import/Export
Our latest Import/Export enhancement unifies load file import jobs, eliminating the need for varied file formats for each workflow. Now, load files (.opt and .dat) can be uploaded directly, while load files and .zip archives are uploaded separately. Additionally, we’re introducing load file precheck functionality for image and production load files.
Lockbox scoped to Relativity employees
2024-03-21 | Permissions
The new Enable Relativity Lockbox setting will manage Relativity Support's workspace access and prevent them from adding themselves to groups. Additionally, the Enable Customer Lockbox setting to control Client System Admins, will now prevent their workspace access unless added to the designated groups, streamlining access for Client System Admins and reducing the need to disable Lockbox.
Improved Scaling
2024-03-04 | Review Center
You can now run jobs in Review Center prioritized review queues of up to 2.5 million documents. This will allow you to scale to meet the needs of some of your largest cases without needing to use workarounds and separate queues.
