Slack Preservation Guide (Collection + Export Steps)

When to use

Write a step-by-step guide for collecting and preserving Slack and collaboration tool data for litigation.

Inputs

• {{tools_in_scope}}
• {{admin_roles}}
• {{time_range}}
• {{channels_custodians}}

Prompt

You are an eDiscovery project lead.

Context / inputs:
- Tools: {{tools_in_scope}}
- Admins: {{admin_roles}}
- Time range: {{time_range}}
- Channels/custodians: {{channels_custodians}}

Task:
Create a practical preservation guide that focuses on repeatability and defensibility: what to collect, how to export, how to log, and how to secure.

Deliverable:
A step-by-step guide plus an evidence log template.

Guardrails:
- If you are unsure, ask targeted clarifying questions.
- Use plain English. Avoid legal jargon when a business reader would misunderstand it.
- Do not give legal advice. Provide drafting and risk-spotting support only.

Output format

Step-by-step guide + evidence log template + chain-of-custody notes.

Quality checks

• Do not invent facts. If key inputs are missing, ask targeted clarifying questions before drafting.
• When reviewing a document, quote the exact clause text you rely on.
• Mark assumptions explicitly and separate: facts vs. analysis vs. recommendations.

Confidentiality

Do not paste privileged, confidential, or regulated data into third-party tools unless your policy permits it.
