| Date | Release | Type | Feature | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-12-17 | 2026-03-17 | Deprecation | Processing | Direct access to Processing SQL DataStores (e.g.: INVXXXXXXX) will be removed. If you do not utilize direct SQL access in your Processing workflows no action is required. If you do utilize direct SQL access in your Processing workflows, you will need to migrate your workflows to API-based ones. See this post in the developer group for more information . |
| 2025-10-31 | 2026-01-31 | Deprecation | Staging Reports | The Staging Reports API v3 will be deprecated and replaced with v4, which provides better performance and uses new technology to support functionality for future features. Developers are encouraged to migrate to the newly released v4 version. The v3 version will be available until January, 2026. See this post in the developer group for more information. |

| Date | Type | Feature | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-01-06 | Deprecation | Processing | The ProcessingFilterManager and ProcessingDocumentManager V1 APIs are deprecated and removed in favor of V2 APIs that utilize the LogicalID field instead of the FileID field in its operations. See this post in the developer group for more information. |
| 2025-10-16 | Enhancement | Helper APIs | The new Relativity.API.Extensions library provides additional helper functions that will be useful when interacting with RelativityOne environments in the cloud-based infrastructure. See Relativity.API.Extensions for more information. |
| 2025-10-02 | Enhancement | Staging Reports | There is a new version of the Staging Reports API (V4). Version 4 will be required moving forward, but version 3 will remain available for the next 90 days, approximately. |
| 2025-09-25 | Change | Authentication (OAuth) | OAuth2 clients will only display the client secret once: immediately after creation. You must copy and securely store it immediately to use in your application's code. The secret will be hidden from all users after the initial page view. If you need to retrieve a client secret after it has been hidden, you will need to reset (generate a new) OAuth2 client secret.
Note: This change will not invalidate existing OAuth2 client secrets and they will continue to work as before. Existing OAuth2 client secrets will be hidden from view after their first display. |
| 2025-08-29 | Deprecation | Integration Points | As of August 29, 2025 the legacy load file workflows, both import and export, are no longer supported in Integration Points. If you use legacy load file workflows, you will need to use alternate APIs. Import/Export offers similar functionality with additional features such as enhanced field mapping and advanced job status tracking, improved reliability, and a more seamless user experience. As a replacement to Integration Points API, the Transfer API can be used to move data into and from RelativityOne. In addition, Import Service / Export Service APIs can be used for importing or exporting data into and from workspaces: Relativity Transfer SDK,Relativity Import Service,Relativity Export Service. See this post in the developer group for more information. |
| 2025-08-22 | Breaking Change | Classic List Page | As previously communicated, Relativity.ListPage has been replaced by Relativity.Lists. Any third-party applications with List Page Interaction Event Handlers for Relativity.ListPage must be updated to provide equivalent event handlers for Relativity.Lists by July 31, 2025. See this post in the developer group for more information, as well as the Classic List Page API deprecation reference page. |
| 2025-08-13 | Enhancement | Processing | In version 2 of the Processing API, the ProcessingDocumentManager and ProcessingFilterManager replace the long-type FileID identifier with a string-type (alphanumeric, 64-length) LogicalID across their endpoints. This affects both request and response payloads, and is necessary for compatibility with new backend storage and processing systems. If you are consuming these APIs, you should update your code to reference the new versions of the Processing API, and you may need to update your code to replace usages of FileID in your API requests and responses with LogicalID. Note that Version 1 of the Processing API will be deprecated in future. |
| 2025-08-12 | Enhancement | Processing | You can now optionally include the calculated processing duplicate hash (PDH) value when retrieving discovered documents with the GetDiscoveredDocuments endpoint in the Processing Filter Manager API. This addition is primarily to support advanced deduplication workflows, such as building custom deduplication tools. See GetDiscoveredDocuments. |
| 2025-07-18 | Deprecation | Errors tab |
The Errors tab is deprecated and removed from RelativityOne instances by July 18, 2025. If you are writing errors to the Errors tab, with scripts or custom code for example, you may need to adjust your script or code to use an alternate error surfacing approach. See this Knowledge Base article and this announcement in the Developer community site for more information.

| 2025-07-01 | Breaking Change | Cold Storage | The billing logic and the functionality of moving a workspace to Cold Storage will rely exclusively on the system-defined "Workspace State" field. The customer-defined "Status" field will no longer influence workspace behavior or billing. Automations that depend on the "Status" field for the purpose of Cold Storage management may cease to work as a result of this change. See this post in the developer group for more information. |
| 2025-06-05 | Deprecation | Collect Folder Path Data | The Collect Folder Path Data solution (which reports the total number and size of document files in each workspace and folder in a Relativity instance) is deprecated and removed starting June 5, 2025. The deprecation includes the application, agents, event handlers, and the script for this solution. See this post in the developer group for more information. |
| 2025-06-02 | Deprecation | Lucene Search | Lucene Search is deprecated in both the Audit UI and API and removed starting June 2, 2025. In its place, we are introducing basic keyword filtering capabilities using the "is like" and "is not like" operators on the Details field. This change affects how users filter audit records and may require adjustments to existing workflows. See this post in the developer group for more information. |
| 2024-03-16 | Deprecation | Audit Metrics | The Audit Metrics REST API endpoint that returns Audit Record Count and Audit Record Size (in bytes) is deprecated. After March 16, 2025, queries to this endpoint will return 0. The endpoint will be fully retired on October 1, 2025. See this post in the developer group for more information. |
| 2025-02-28 | Breaking Change | Audit | Lucene Search Engine support in the Audit User Interface and Audit API is removed from production RelativityOne instances. After the deprecation, you will no longer be able to use the keyword LuceneSearch in the request.condition or request.rowCondition in the Audit API. See this post in the developer group for more information. |
| 2024-12-20 | Deprecation | Analytics Classification | The Analytics Classification API (.NET and REST) was removed from RelativityOne on December 20, 2024. See this post in the developer group for more information. |
| 2024-12-18 | Enhancement | Usage Report | The new Usage Report API provides a REST service that modernizes and centralizes the reporting experience across an instance. See Usage Report for more information. |
| 2024-12-06 | Breaking Change | Object Manager | The Object Manager REST API returns a 554 status code if an event handler causes Object Manager's REST API to fail. See this post in the developer group for more information. |
| 2024-12-03 | Deprecation | Data Exchange Client | The DataExchange.Client.SDK is deprecated in RelativityOne as of December 2, 2024. The Relativity.Import.SDK replaces the DataExchange.Client.SDK. See this post in the developer group for more information. |
| 2024-07-31 | Deprecation | Solution Snapshot | The Solution Snapshot application will no longer be supported for Relativity Server as of October 29, 2024. All supporting documentation and access to the RAP will be removed at that time, and no further changes will be made to the application. See this post in the developer group for more information. |
| 2024-09-01 | Breaking Change | RelativityOne Staging | RelativityOne Staging boundaries are streamlined to effectively separate staging data from workspace and system data. With this change, you will no longer be able to write to or access data outside of the defined staging area. The FTA, Temp, Export and dtSearch folders will be removed. For more detail, please reference the Staging Area FAQ community article. |
