n the modern digital
workplace, collaboration
has taken a new form in
the cloud, and file sharing
has evolved beyond sending
static file attachments via email.
Platforms like Microsoft 365,
Slack, and Google Workspace,
along with the ever-increasing
number of cloud-based document
repositories, have transformed
how we create, share, and store
information. While these changes
have increasingly streamlined
workflows and allowed remote
collaboration to mature, these
efficient developments have also
introduced complex challenges
for legal and compliance teams,
particularly in the context of
electronic discovery (ediscovery).
The use of hyperlinks is
poised to outpace traditional
file-sharing methods, and the
increased adoption of hyperlinks
has brought questions about
preservation, accessibility, and
metadata to the forefront of
discovery strategies.

HYPERLINKS?
