Aware 2.0 - Create a Data Hold

Creating a Data Hold is essential for organizations with individuals on legal hold. This process ensures that the content and communications of these individuals are preserved within integrated platforms, preventing any inadvertent deletion or modification of their data.

By establishing active Data Holds before implementing a Retention Policy, organizations can maintain a comprehensive record of relevant information, which is crucial for compliance and potential legal proceedings. This proactive approach safeguards important content, helping organizations navigate complex legal landscapes effectively.

If you have a large number of individuals on legal hold and need to import existing individuals in Aware Data Hold, follow these instructions:

1. Navigate to Aware Data Hold.
2. Select Create a Hold.
3. Add the Content Author's email address, provide a clear description, and select the appropriate Content Platform.
4. Once complete, select Create Hold and repeat as necessary.

Data Holds can only be created by a single individual. Ensure your description clearly defines the hold, as multiple people may have access to the Aware Data Hold application.
