Yes. eDig365 is built for the new unified Purview eDiscovery experience and has no dependency on the classic interfaces. Microsoft retired the classic experiences on August 31, 2025; we report on the same cases, searches, holds, exports, and activity that now live in the unified experience.

Reports
eDig365 centralizes Purview eDiscovery telemetry, allowing you to view the who/what/when across matters without running scripts. Representative metrics include:
- Cases & Lifecycle: cases opened/closed, owners, status, age, duration, and recent activity.
- Legal holds: holds created/active/released, custodians on hold, failed holds.
- Custodians: cases, holds, searches, mailbox/OneDrive statistics, teams memberships.
- Searches: search creations and iterations, run times, result counts, and filters/conditions used.
- Exports: export jobs created, status, completion times, item/file counts, byte volumes, and chain‑of‑custody metadata.
- User activity: key eDiscovery actions by user/service principal with timestamps (e.g., hold placed, search run, export started/completed).
- Data volume trends: longitudinal views of item counts and sizes across searches and exports; per‑matter and cross‑matter roll‑ups.
- Errors & failures: surfaced where Purview exposes them.
- Review sets (where available): review‑set sizes and item counts; note: eDig365 does not read document content or tagging labels.

Dashboards refresh on a daily schedule (every 24 hours) and you can run an on‑demand refresh from within the app when you need more up‑to‑date numbers.
Yes. eDig365 is architected to scale for large enterprises and public‑sector tenants.
Why do storage numbers differ between what I see in the drive and what the quota shows?
Microsoft 365 tracks storage in two ways:
- Drive Storage — the size of visible files and folders.
- Quota Storage — the total storage Microsoft counts toward your limit, including hidden or retained content.
These two measurements serve different purposes, so they do not always match.
What does Quota Storage include that I can’t see?
Quota Storage includes:
- Previous versions of files
- Items in the recycle bin
- Files preserved by retention or legal hold
- Metadata, indexing, and system‑generated content
Why is this important for legal and compliance teams?
Quota Storage reflects the true retained footprint of content, including:
- Items preserved for litigation
- Content under retention policies
- Files that cannot be deleted due to compliance requirements
Why is this important for IT and infosec?
Quota Storage is used for:
- Capacity planning
- Storage limit enforcement
- Monitoring for oversize drives
- Understanding retained data that may still be discoverable
How can I reduce quota usage?
If allowed by policy:
- Empty the recycle bin
- Permanently delete unnecessary files
- Review retention policies
- Reduce excessive version history
