While almost everybody has a pretty good idea of what to expect when it comes to viewing and interacting with text content on an eDiscovery platform, not many people know what to expect when it comes to audio and visual file types, especially when completing a first-time eDiscovery project. As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, a great many changes have occurred within the eDiscovery and wider legal industry over the past few years. Some of the most noticeable changes have come in the form of significant increases in the amount of data collected, greater variety of file types collected, and an altered weighting of file types in comparison with pre-pandemic collections.
