Open up Outlook and click File, then select Open & Export from the menu on the left pane. Choose Import/Export from that menu, and Outlook will take you to the Import and Export Wizard dialog box. Choose the Export to a file option (usually the second item down), then click Next. You’ll be prompted to “Create a file of type:”. Export Full Agenda will generate an.ics file with all sessions in it; Export My Agenda will generate an.ics file with the sessions that are on your My Agenda page; Once the file has been downloaded to your computer, import it to the calendar service of your choice: Import a calendar to Microsoft Outlook (external link).
-->An offline address book (OAB) is a downloadable address list collection that Outlook users can access while disconnected from Exchange Online. Admins can decide which address lists are made available to users who work offline.
Offline address books are generated every 8 hours.
For more information about address lists in Exchange Online, see Address lists.
For OAB procedures, see Offline address book procedures.
How users download offline address books
In Outlook, click File > Account Settings > Download Address Book.
On the Offline address book dialog box that's displayed, make the following selections:
Download changes since last Send/Receive: By default, this check box is selected. Unchecking this box causes a full download of the OAB.
Choose address book: This drop-down list will display the offline address books that are available to you. Depending on what an admin has configured, you might see only one value here (for example, the global address list).
Click OK. The OAB is downloaded and saved on your computer.
Conditions that cause a full download of the OAB
There are situations where Outlook will always perform a full OAB download. For example:
There's no OAB on the client computer (for example, this is the first time you've connected to your Exchange Online mailbox in Outlook on this computer).
The version of the OAB on the server and the client don't match (a more recent version of the OAB is present on the server).
One or more OAB files are missing from the client computer.
A previous full download failed, and Outlook has to start over.
When a user has multiple MAPI profiles on the same Outlook client computer and they switch between the two profiles that both use Cached Exchange Mode, multiple full OAB downloads of the same OAB files will occur.
Today, redactions are more important than ever. Given the massive amounts of data involved in discovery, it is imperative to protect sensitive information from unnecessary disclosure.
There have always been rules on when redactions are necessary. No one wants Social Security Numbers flying around for all to see. But now, it’s common for discoverable materials to contain all kinds of personal identifying information (PII) you want to keep private either to protect your company or consumers.
Redaction offers you security beyond a protection order. No one can leak information they don’t have. No one can steal it either. When you redact information, either by choice or obligation, a redaction log provides a clear record and explanation for your choices, which might be necessary for court.
What is a Redaction Log?
A redaction log is a record that tracks blacked out or abbreviated information in relevant materials turned over during discovery. It might include the document name or number, the page/paragraph location, the type of information redacted, and a brief reason for the redaction.
When Do You Need a Redaction Log?
At least two circumstances give rise to redaction logs. The first is necessary, and the second is discretionary.
Federal and state rules of procedure require redacting certain information for privacy. Rule 5.2 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure dictates privacy protections for public filings in federal courts. Information that must be redacted includes:
- Social Security Numbers
- taxpayer-identification numbers
- financial account numbers
- birth dates
- minors’ names
The court also might require or allow redaction of other identifying or sensitive information, like alien registration or driver’s license numbers.
The federal rule says you may file a reference list identifying redacted information along with redacted materials. You must file the list under seal.
There may be similar requirements in state courts. For example, under California Rules of Court, Rule 1.201, you must redact personal information from documents you publicly file with the court. You may file a Confidential Reference List of Identifiers, Form MC-120.
The second reason for a redaction log is when you want to protect sensitive yet irrelevant information. You can either reach an agreement with the other parties regarding redactions or make the unilateral decision to hide certain irrelevant information.
How Redaction Logs Differ From Privilege Logs
There’s somewhat of a false parallel between privilege and redaction logs. Both are reports describing what you hold back during discovery. But they serve two distinct purposes.
A privilege log tracks relevant documents you withhold due to privilege. The log is necessary to explicitly invoke your right to retain privileged information and inform the other party they aren’t receiving documents relevant to the dispute. Without a log, the recipient wouldn’t know what they’re missing.
A redaction log tracks information that is irrelevant to the legal matter. You aren’t censoring the information because of privilege; you’re hiding it based on privacy and protection. The irrelevant information could harm your company (or your clients, vendors, customers, or consumers) if exposed. A log isn’t essential in the sense that the recipient knows when a document includes redactions. It’s useful, nonetheless.
Creating a Redaction Log
Depending on the tool you are using for discovery and redactions, compiling a redaction log could be incredibly tedious—or extremely simple. If redactions are applied manually in a tool such as Adobe Acrobat, or in a discovery platform that does not allow for redaction reports, creating a redaction log can take hours of painstaking documentation.
The best eDiscovery platforms will automate both privilege and redaction log creation.
In Logikcull, for example, you can create a redaction log in just a few clicks. When a document is redacted, Logikcull automatically applies a “has redactions” tag. Users can then create a CSV export with select metadata, including a full list of documents having redactions and, if a redaction label is applied, the reason for those redactions.
Total time to create: just a few seconds.
Tackling Redaction Logs Efficiently

Best practices call for considering discretionary redactions from the very beginning. At the onset of discovery, you can discuss redactions with the other parties. You’ll reach an agreement or get the court’s input. Either way, you can move forward with your redactions confidently.
Deciding what to redact or hold back as privileged should be the hard part—not documenting your decisions. Your team needs an efficient and accurate process for creating a privilege log, redaction log, or both. You’re all too aware that modern discovery often includes millions of documents, which might require tens of thousands of redactions of PII and other sensitive information. A user-friendly, automated process to log those redactions saves your team time and energy.
