Everlaw’s Purview cloud connector allows teams to upload Microsoft Purview exports directly into Everlaw.
A Purview export is a review set that you have packaged and prepared for download within Purview. On Everlaw, the documents uploaded through the cloud connection are formatted, accessed, and reviewed the same as those uploaded through a local upload. This includes attachment family grouping, email threading, and chat formatting. Sensitivity labels are not supported.
This article assumes the connection has already been configured for your Everlaw database. If you need to set up the initial connection, see Connect Everlaw to Purview.
Note
The Purview cloud connector is our recommended way to get M365 documents into Everlaw. Purview is more robust as it is a purpose-built solution for investigation and discovery, ensuring more comprehensive data capture. Whereas the 365 connector has known limitations, such as its inability to capture deleted data, because it uses a more general API.
