MC700643 - eDiscovery Premium-Enhancements to eDiscovery experience for Microsoft Forms content

Updated May 17,February 19, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Now admins can search for Microsoft Forms content specifically within their collections, see the full metadata associated to those items including the Form title, and review both the original Form and responses to the Form as related items within both review and export. Simplification and ease of use for managing Forms content via eDiscovery will help reduce the pain points of the challenging discovery process and improve the confidence of organizations using Forms for critical tasks that may require eDiscovery capabilities.

Note:

• Licensing: Because discovery of Forms content within this preview requires eDiscovery premium, you must have appropriate licensing. Please see this article for more information: Microsoft Purview eDiscovery - Service Descriptions | Microsoft Learn
  • If your tenant does not have appropriate licensing, see Free trial of Microsoft Purview compliance solutions | Microsoft Learn
• Permissions: You must have appropriate permissions to use eDiscovery. See the following article for more information: Assign eDiscovery permissions in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal | Microsoft Learn
