New in Reveal, August 2026: Redaction Exclusions, Outlook Group Collections, Hold Approvals, and More

If these are the dog days of summer, someone forgot to tell our product team. August brought a full slate of updates across Logikcull, Onna, and Reveal Hold: auto-redactions that finally know what to leave alone, Outlook collections scoped to just the groups you need, and a "check with me first" step before any hold goes out.  

Here's the roundup, in plain language.

Logikcull

Help Auto-Redactions "Read the Room"

Automatic redactions are wonderful, right until they develop free will, black out your client's name across all 4,000 documents, and walk away feeling proud of their work.

Now, you can put them on a short leash by giving them a do-not-touch list.

From the Redactions tab, under Project Settings, you can build a Redaction Exclusions List and Logikcull leaves those terms alone everywhere redactions fire: as you open a document, when the PII toggle is on, and when someone reaches for the redaction tool by hand.

WCAG 2.2-Oriented PDF Downloads

Logikcull downloads now include an option to structure your produced PDFs so they are oriented toward WCAG 2.2 standards. Checking the box produces tagged PDFs that pass automated accessibility checkers such as PAC.

Your preference also saves into download templates, so the setting rides along with your other download defaults.

Also in Logikcull:

• SSO breakups are now self-serve. Need to switch identity providers or clear out an old connection? You can now disconnect SSO yourself, no IT ticket required.

• Multi-keyword persistent highlights. If selecting keywords one by one when configuring persistent highlights is giving you finger cramps, you can now leave the pain behind. Just select multiple keywords, or all of them, at once and apply your desired highlights.

Onna

Outlook Enterprise Group Selection*

Collecting mailboxes from Outlook used to be an all-or-nothing process.

You needed the mailboxes from one department and the Outlook Enterprise connector handed you the whole company: every intern, every exec, and every reply-all enthusiast. The eDiscovery equivalent of ordering one pizza and having the entire catering truck dropped on your driveway.

Now, a new group-selection step in the Outlook Enterprise data source flow lets you scope a collection to specific groups, and Onna automatically builds the user list based on that group's membership. Right-sized from the beginning. What a concept!

Sync Status, Now with a Proper Status

Few things test the nerves like a data source that shows you nothing. Is it done? Has it quietly abandoned you and started a new life somewhere else?

Those blank screens now talk.

Data sources on the Sync Status screen now display the full timeline, the sync history, and the date data last came in. A quiet source will tell you whether it is caught up or genuinely stuck, so you can stop refreshing and hoping.

Also in Onna:

• Google Workspace inactive-user status. When a Google Workspace user is deleted or suspended, their connected data sources now show an inactive user status, so a stalled collection has a visible reason.

• Slack Enterprise setup timeout message. Adding a Slack Enterprise channel source that times out during setup now shows a clear timeout error instead of stopping silently.

Reveal Hold

Holds Now Come with a "Check with Me First" Button

A minute after sending a hold notice to 400 custodians is not the ideal moment to discover that someone wanted to review it first.

You can now require approval before a hold is issued or re-issued. An administrator turns the approval workflow on in Subscription Settings and decides whether requestors can choose any eligible approver or only someone from a pre-approved list.

Once submitted, the hold moves into Pending Approval and stays safely read-only until someone gives it the green light. Approve it, and the hold goes out automatically. Reject it, and you'll need to add a comment so the requestor knows what needs fixing.

Give the Backup Spreadsheet a Retirement Party

Most legal hold programs have that spreadsheet. It started as a harmless place to track a few extra fields the system didn't support and, somewhere along the way, became critical infrastructure.

Good news: you can now bring those fields home.

Administrators can create custom fields for matters and holds using different field types. Each field can be required or optional, and you can organize them into groups that you can rename and reorder to match the way your team actually works.

Custom fields flow into reports and the reporting API, work as placeholders in message templates, and travel with subscription import and export.

Also in Reveal Hold:

• Group-scoped Address Book sync. Administrators can now scope Address Book synchronization to specific Microsoft Entra ID groups (Assigned, Microsoft 365, and Dynamic membership), so only members of the selected groups sync in.

• Per-hold communication status in Custodian IQ. Hold Managers can set a custodian's communication status (All Communication, Silent, or Notice Only) inline per hold, from the Current Holds table.

Coming Soon

Here is a look at what our teams are building next.

Logikcull

In public records and investigations work, "we ran a thorough search" is a lot more convincing when you can show it.

Coming soon, Search Auditing & Reporting gives every executed search a paper trail: a clear, exportable record of what was run across a project.

Onna

Claude is soon joining Onna's AI-source collection, adding to the Gemini and ChatGPT sources already supported.

Reveal Hold

In-place preservation across Microsoft 365 is on the way, letting you preserve M365 data in place through Onna rather than exporting it first.
