Explanation

In a Core eDiscovery workflow, creating a hold is the prerequisite step before searching for content. A hold (also called a legal hold or preservation hold) places a lock on mailboxes, SharePoint sites, or OneDrive accounts to ensure that relevant content is preserved and cannot be permanently deleted by users or automated retention policies during an investigation. Without a hold, evidence could be lost before a search is conducted. Express Analysis and attorney-client privilege detection are features of Advanced eDiscovery (Microsoft Purview eDiscovery Premium), not Core eDiscovery. Exporting results is the final step in the workflow, not a prerequisite.
