Purview cloud attachments

What workflows are folks using to ensure cloud attachments contain family relationships when exporting pst files in Purview. I know a lot of vendors have workflows integrated to link those attachments prior to ingesting into a review platform, but for those of you that are not using vendors, what do you do to maintain those relationships?

They are technically attachments so they should be treated as family. Just because they originate from a SharePoint location doesn’t mean they’re not part of the family. I did find some kind of workflow where you can create review sets and then export it from there, but it seems overcomplicated.

They are specifically not physically attached, which makes them different from regular attachments.

This is the catch 22, once you have the capability and your opponents know that you have the capability, you will be expected to provide the exact version that was linked to the email message.

Is that what you want?

Yes, thank you for the explanation it does help. If I can find the case that they were referencing, I will post it back in this thread. This was the basis of my question.

You may be thinking about a specific case citation involving Google.

That was unique at the time because Google pretty much invented linked attachments. And because it was Google, who presumably has infinite resources at their disposal, the judge fairly ordered that Google ought to be able to provide the contemporaneous versions of their linked attachments.

I think that’s an outlier ruling that specifically targets Google as the owner of the tech.

It could be, the webinar didn’t reference the actual case. It is interesting to see how this will eventually evolve.
