How do I review collected data?

Find and review all collected evidence from the Case Data page.

Case Data is where everything collected for a case lives, organized by source in the Data Sources sidebar. This article shows you where each kind of data is; the linked articles cover reviewing each one.

Open Case Data

Case Data in the case sidebar

Open the case and click Case Data in the left sidebar, or click View next to a collected source on the Collection Requests page to go straight to it.

Case Data before any data has been collected

Until a collection finishes, the page is empty.

Data Sources

Data Sources sidebar

Sources are grouped under device and account headers, each with a count of what it holds. Click a source to open it. Filter by custodian/code narrows the list when a case has several custodians, and the « arrow folds the sidebar into a dropdown bar to give the data more room.
