After creating a case it is possible to add one or multiple legal holds to the case. Creating a legal hold involves identifying the relevant users associated with a case and applying the hold to prevent permanent deletion of content that those users own, co-own, create, edit or access. For more information, see our Help Center page on adding a legal hold to a case.

This API creates a new legal hold in a case for an organization. Newly created legal holds could take up to 24 hours to be processed.
