Does Relativity convert .nsf files to .pst files before discovering them?

The correct answer is that Relativity does not convert .nsf (Lotus Notes Storage Facility) files to .pst (Personal Storage Table) files before discovering them. Instead, Relativity is capable of directly ingesting and processing .nsf files without converting them to another format. This direct capability allows users to handle Lotus Notes data effectively within the Relativity platform, streamlining the workflow and maintaining the integrity of the original file format during the discovery process.

Understanding this functionality is crucial for legal professionals and those involved in e-discovery activities, as it ensures that the data is preserved in its original state, which is important for maintaining authenticity and complying with legal requirements. This feature distinguishes Relativity from other systems that may require format conversion for processing certain types of email and document data.
