CloudNine Review: What are Persistent Highlights and how do I apply them in CloudNine Review
Persistent Highlights - What they are and how to apply them.
In eDiscovery, review teams use keywords, phrases, and search term lists to identify potentially relevant and/or responsive documents. Some search terms are deemed "highly important," and you want those keywords highlighted throughout the review workflow.
In CloudNine Review, the Persistent Highlights feature ensures those highly important search terms or phrases remain highlighted throughout the document review, whether or not they are part of the active search.
