Note:
* An in-place hold is a mechanism for placing content (SharePoint 2013 documents, list items, pages, and Exchange Server 2013 mailboxes) on legal hold while allowing users to continue working with the content and without them being made aware of the hold. If a user edits or deletes content that has been placed on in-place hold, the content is automatically moved to a special location thus preserving the state of the content as it was at the time the hold was placed.
* In-place holds can be placed either at the site or mailbox level, or alternatively, you can use query-based preservation. With query-based preservation, you can define eDiscovery search queries and only content that matches your query will be preserved.
* eDiscovery, or electronic discovery, is the process of discovering (finding) electronically stored information that is relevant to legal matters such as litigation, audits and investigations. Though it is called eDiscovery, the process typically entails more than just the discovery. The main stages of the process are roughly:
1. Discovery - Find the relevant content
2. Preservation - Place content on legal hold to prevent data destruction
3. Collection - Collect and send relevant content to be processed
4. Processing - Prepare files to be loaded into a document review platform
5. Review - Attorneys determine which content will be provided to opposition
6. Production - Provide relevant content to opposition
The SharePoint 2013 eDiscovery functionality focusses on the first three stages.
* Site holds
SharePoint preserves content on the site level. When you preserve a site, its lists, libraries, and subsites are preserved. If you preserve a root site collection, all documents, pages, lists, and subsites in that site collection are preserved.
To hold a site, create a Discovery Case in the eDiscovery Center. A case is a container for all of the queries, content, and preservations associated with specific litigation. After you create the case, create a Discovery Set to specify the site. To validate the site, just enter its URL address.
