NOTE
If you are searching archives for discovery purposes, you may need to create many archives for a given project. To make it easy to find and review archive contents later, use a consistent, descriptive naming convention for the archive, such as Date_ReviewerName_CaseNumber_ArchiveNumber. For example 20191027_Smith_345000_1
- Click Create Discovery Archive to create the archive and add it to the scheduling list.
