The Legal Hold Notification application enables organizations to issue, track, and manage legal hold notices efficiently.

If the Legal Counsel Center application hasn't been previously installed, you must install it to start using Legal Hold Notification. For more information, see [Install Legal Counsel Center Workspace](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/epvAgQsJUsIUbWw~z9xhkA "You can install the Legal Counsel Center application (sn_lg_cf_workspace) if you have the admin role. The application installs ServiceNow Store applications and plugins if they are not already installed.").
* **[Submit a Legal Hold Notification matter](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/6eNG7~SXw08iQEyFZ4Sh0g)**   
  Create a Legal Hold Notification matter to initiate the process of preserving the data related to the legal hold when the legal hold is issued.

* **[Acknowledge the legal hold notice](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/1hWGjlWGlKh2TrVp~IOkwA)**   
  As a custodian, acknowledge that you have received the legal hold notice, confirming your agreement to preserve all relevant data. This acknowledgment serves as formal documentation supporting the legal team in the context of legal proceedings.
