Locations

The Locations tab allows you to add locations that need to be preserved in the hold. Please note that for in-place hold preservation, you need to set up an integration with Microsoft Purview first.

Create Location

1. Select Create Location.

   

2. Define the Name, Preservation Type, Source and Tenant(s).

   • For example, Email 365 (Name), Microsoft Purview (Preservation Type) and Mailbox (Source) for in-place preservation.

   • Or, Laptop (Name) and Manual (Preservation Type). The Preservation Type 'Manual' allows Forensic Investigators or IT Administrator to manually preserve the data.

     

Note: Please make sure that custodians from your Microsoft Entra ID are synchronized and up to date, so that the Legal Hold is aware of the correct OneDrive locations.

Click Save.
