There are several file and electronic document formats that are supported for creating and adding to an e-documents database, but there are some that may not be supported. For formats that are not supported, the files are still added to the database as an excluded file, but the contents is not imported. When working with e-document files, you’ll need to adhere to any forensic data processes as outlined by your organization or recommended for e-discovery processing.
