Why we publish known issues
Relativity publishes known issues to provide transparency and to give you the information you need when making upgrade decisions. Relativity Customer Support and Engineering publishes known issues at its own discretion based criteria such as on the number of customer reports, the severity of the issue, and the availability of a workaround. Not all defects are published as known issues.
When we publish known issues
The known issues list receives updates when the following occurs:
- Engineering or Support identifies new known issues.
- A monthly update introduces a new known issue.
- A monthly update resolves an existing known issue.
Note: If you're experiencing an issue in Relativity and you don't see it listed on the known issues page, contact Client Services.

After redacting a chart, the user must reject the chart redaction in the Redact QC card and refresh the document view after being prompted by the Redact toast notification to do so. The user might intuit that they could right-click on the redacted chart and revert the markup using the 'Revert' option like other cell redactions but they cannot because the user is actually clicking on the cell underneath the chart rather than the chart itself. | Server 2022 | Server 2023 |

If someone tries to save a document that was previously coded with a user that has since been removed from the workspace, the save fails. This can also happen if the user was not mapped to a system user during an ARM restore. In either case, this works fine in classic. This only happens if the user field is on the layout and editable. These are a few potential workarounds, in order of feasibility: * Set the user field to read only. * Remove the user field from the layout * *Scenario 1 only (see below):* Add the user back to the workspace * *Scenario 2 only*: Re-create the deleted user, add them to the workspace, then manually re-code the affected documents with that user. Mass Edit can be used to make this process easier * *Scenario 3a only*: Create the missing user, then manually re-code the affected documents with the same user. Mass Edit can be used to make this process easier * *Scenario 3b and 3c only*: Manually re-code the affected documents with the same user. Mass Edit can be used to make this process easier * Code the documents with another user. |
