A focused workflow for the first pass

A SAR or DSAR archive is rarely all relevant. Triage gives you every tool you need to whittle a huge mailbox down to the items that matter.

Triage mode

Switch to triage to review without committing. Status-tag emails as in scope, out of scope, or needs review.

Filter anything

Filter by sender, recipient, subject, date range, attachments, body content or PST folder. Combine filters freely.

Bulk status updates

Apply a status to every email matching the current filter, and clear out 500 marketing emails in one click.

Cross-file search

Search across every file in a project at once. No need to switch between mailboxes.

Hand off to redact

Once triage is done, only in-scope emails appear in Redact mode. The work that follows stays focused.

Preview before deciding

Open any email inline. See attachments, full headers, and threading without leaving the triage view.

Where triage saves you the most time

Subject Access Requests (SAR / DSAR)

Cut a 12,000-email archive down to the 800 you actually need to respond with. Triage out internal automation, marketing, and out-of-period emails first.

eDiscovery and litigation hold

Triage by date range, custodian or keyword to surface privileged or relevant material before legal review.

FOI responses

Filter by date and topic, mark exempt material, and pass clean results to the redaction stage. Faster turnaround on every request.

Internal investigations

Pull a custodian export, triage by sender, recipient or keyword, and lock down the in-scope set before sharing with counsel.

Questions

Triage is a mode designed for the first pass through a large archive, before any redaction. You filter, search and tag emails as in-scope, out-of-scope or needing review, so by the time you switch to Redact mode you only work on items that matter.

A SAR archive is rarely 100% relevant. Triage lets you mark out-of-scope emails (marketing, calendar invites, internal automation) before redaction, so you and your team only spend time on the items that need to go in the response.

Yes. Triage and redaction state is per-project and shared between all users with access. Status updates are visible live so you can split a large archive across a team without stepping on each other.

Yes. Once a file is uploaded (.mbox, .pst, .eml or .msg), every email lands in the same project view. Filters, search and bulk status updates work across all formats at once.

Stop redacting the wrong emails

Triage is included on every plan. Upload a file, mark what’s in scope, and only do the redaction work that matters.
