How does Relativity handle "native file review"?

Relativity handles native file review by allowing access to files in their original format. This capability is essential for legal and investigative purposes because it ensures that users can view documents just as they were originally created, preserving important elements like metadata, formatting, and embedded features that may be lost during conversion to other formats, such as PDF. Native file review provides a more accurate and reliable examination of electronic evidence, which is critical in legal settings where the authenticity and integrity of files can impact case outcomes.

The other options do not reflect Relativity's approach. For instance, converting all files to PDF can restrict the review process and potentially omit important nuances of the data contained in native files. Manual conversion adds unnecessary complexity and can introduce errors, while limiting file types to only text documents would significantly hinder the platform’s flexibility and functionality in handling varied document types essential in many cases. Thus, enabling access to files in their original format is a key feature of Relativity that enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of document review.
