Configure review set grouping settings for eDiscovery (Premium) cases

  • Article

Tip

eDiscovery (preview) is now available in the new Microsoft Purview portal. To learn more about using the new eDiscovery experience, see Learn about eDiscovery (preview).

You can configure grouping settings for each Microsoft Purview eDiscovery (Premium) case to control how the data in a review set is grouped and displayed. Turning on the Enable group setting is only available for review sets in cases created in your organization after March 15, 2023.

Depending when the case is created, items in a review set can be grouped in two ways:

  • Group review set items by Group ID and Thread ID: When enabled, review set items are grouped by Group ID and Thread ID. This setting is the default for all cases created after March 15, 2023.
  • Group review set items by Family ID and Conversation ID: When disabled, review set items are grouped by Family ID and Conversation ID. This setting is the default for all cases created before March 15, 2023.

For more information about review set grouping, see Group and view documents in a review set.
