Your Case Matter ID now behaves like your advanced capture settings: it stays set from one capture to the next, so you can move through a sequence of captures for the same case without re-entering it each time.
Before your next capture, you're still in control:
  • Leave it as-is to apply the same Case Matter ID again
  • Update it to tag the next capture to a different case
  • Clear it so the next capture is saved without a Case Matter ID
Made for capturing in sequence: Whether you're documenting one case across many pages or working through a single site, your Case Matter ID follows along until you decide to change it.
How to use it:
Enter your Case Matter ID in Page Vault Browser and capture as usual. It stays applied to each capture until you update or clear it.
On May 27, the Page Vault Browser launches a complete redesign. The capture flow, the layout, the folder picker, every part of the experience rebuilt to make capture easier, faster, and more confident. Every capture workflow that works today still works tomorrow.
Redesigned Browser Start Page background
What's been redesigned
  • The layout. Tabs, the URL bar, and capture controls now live in a single panel on the left, giving the page itself more vertical space. Every capture type sits in one menu with descriptions and keyboard shortcuts. Full-page captures auto-load lazy content before snapping, so the bottom of the page doesn't get cut off.
  • Site automations. Open a supported Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, or LinkedIn page and the right capture automation is already selected for you. Embedded videos within posts can now be captured too — less guessing about which option to pick on which site.
  • Batch capture, in-browser. No more copying cookies between the browser and a separate batch form. Open the tabs you want, kick off the job, and your browser session carries over — fewer captures fail and fewer redo attempts.
  • A faster folder picker. Navigate your folders in a searchable, sortable column view. Less scrolling, fewer mis-saves.
What still works
Every capture option from the legacy browser still works in the new one — same expanders, same PDF output, same legal admissibility. We rebuilt the new browser with a clear goal: zero functional regressions, plus new capabilities on top of everything you already rely on.
What testers told us
Legal teams in our preview testing called out two reactions in particular. On the new in-browser batch flow: "Now I can just have a bunch of tabs, open them all up, click through whatever I need to click through, and then submit it as a batch — boom, I've got it all." And on discovering the redesigned folder picker: "There's a search bar here — that is so nice."
Launch day, and after
The redesigned browser becomes the default on May 27. The legacy browser stays available through July 15, 2026. When you launch from the Portal, you'll be able to choose your version each time.

You can now capture LinkedIn posts in bulk using Batch — no more capturing them one at a time.
What's new
Batch now supports LinkedIn as a social media platform. Paste a list of LinkedIn post URLs and capture them all in a single job, the same way you already can with Instagram.
  • Each post is fully expanded, including comments and replies, before capture
  • Captures are saved as individual records, just like other Batch social media jobs

One of our most-requested capture types
LinkedIn posts have come up consistently in training sessions and customer conversations this year. Whether you're preserving specific posts for a case or working through a list of URLs from a client, Batch makes it faster and more consistent than capturing each one manually.
A note on LinkedIn sessions
LinkedIn is more aggressive than most platforms about protecting logged-in sessions. Occasionally, LinkedIn may sign you out mid-job. We've built in logout detection — if it happens, you'll be prompted to re-authenticate and the job will resume where it left off, so you won't lose progress.
How to try it
Go to Batch → Social Media → LinkedIn in the platform dropdown, paste your post URLs, and run.
What's supported right now
Bulk URL capture for LinkedIn post URLs. Scrape and scrape-and-capture options are not yet available for LinkedIn — we'll share updates as that changes.
Video captures have always preserved what happened on screen. Now they also include the text of what was said.
What's new
  • .vtt
    subtitle files are bundled into
    .zip
    exports whenever a subtitle track was collected during capture
  • Catalog files (
    .csv
    and
    .dat
    ) include a new
    subtitle_path
    column pointing to each subtitle file
  • The export option is now labeled
    "Include OCR and Subtitle Text Files"
    so it's clear what you're getting
More searchable evidence, less manual work
Spoken content in a video capture is often the part that matters most — a statement in a deposition-adjacent interview, a disclosure in a product demo, a claim in a social video. Until now, finding that content meant watching the video. With subtitle files in the export, it flows into your review workflow the same way OCR text already does: keyword-searchable, indexable, and ready to load into Relativity or similar tools via the catalog.
How to try it
On your next export, check
"Include OCR and Subtitle Text Files"
. Subtitle files will be included automatically, and the
subtitle_path
column will appear at the end of your catalog.

A note on scope
Subtitles are only included when a subtitle track was successfully collected at capture time. For videos without captions, the subtitle file simply won't be present and the
subtitle_path
value will be empty. Subtitle availability and accuracy depends on the source — some platforms provide creator-added captions, others provide automatically generated ones.
Your per-capture notes are now included in catalog export files. Any notes you've added to captures in the Portal will automatically appear when you export.
What's new
  • Catalog files — CSV, HTML, and DAT — now include a
    Notes
    column with your per-capture notes
  • The column is added as the
    last column
    in each file, so your existing workflows and automations won't be affected
  • Notes are included automatically — no extra settings or toggles required. If a capture doesn't have notes, the field will simply be blank
Your context, delivered with your captures
Whether you're tracking post dates, flagging observations, or adding case-relevant details, notes are a useful way to attach context to individual captures. Until now, that information stayed in the Portal. Now it travels with your export, so the people reviewing your deliverables have the full picture without needing to go back to the Portal.
How to try it
Export a folder that includes the catalog files (CSV, HTML, or DAT) — the Notes column will be there. Note that this applies to catalog files only, not to individual capture cover pages.
Once captures are saved, there hasn't been an easy way to find them again by recency. If you captured a few pages this morning and need to get back to them, you'd have to remember which folder you saved to and navigate there manually.
We've added a new "Recent captures" view to the Portal that shows the folders where you most recently saved captures.
What you'll see
  • Up to 25 folders where you've saved snapshots or file captures, sorted by your most recent capture activity
  • Navigate directly into any folder to view its contents
  • Export a folder's captures right from the list — no extra navigation needed
Why folders instead of individual captures?
Crawls and batch jobs can generate tens to thousands of captures in a single run, and all of those captures land in the same folder. If we listed individual captures, one large job would push everything else off the page. By showing folders, a batch of 1,000 captures takes up just one row — so the work you did before and after that job stays easy to find.
Frame 2
You'll find "Recent captures" in the Portal sidebar. It's available now for all users.
We've made several improvements to Search this week based on early usage and feedback.
If you haven't tried Search yet, now is the perfect time!
Updated search entry point
The search button in the sidebar has been restyled to look and feel like a search bar, making it easier to spot (look for the
"New"
badge). Clicking it takes you to the Search page with the input automatically focused — just start typing. We've also updated the placeholder and empty state text to clarify what you can search across: capture names, URLs, page titles, authors, notes, and other capture metadata.
URL-synced search state
Your search query, filters, sort order, and current page are now saved in the URL. This means you can:
  • Click into a capture from your results, then hit the back button to return to the exact same results page
  • Bookmark or share a search URL with your team
  • Use browser forward/back to navigate between searches without losing your place
Paginated results
Search results are now paginated with page controls at the bottom, replacing continuous scroll. Sorting by relevance or date applies across all pages.
Clickable thumbnails
Capture thumbnails in search results are now clickable, linking directly to the capture detail, the same as clicking the capture name.
You can now search across your captures using exact text matching on key metadata fields.
Search
Search includes:
  • Capture name
  • URL
  • Page title
  • Notes
  • And other associated metadata
This makes it faster to locate specific captures across large matters and accounts.
To use it:
  1. Navigate to the Search bar in the left side of the Portal
  2. Enter a keyword or phrase
  3. Refine results using filters
Search respects all user-level permissions. Users will only see results they already have access to.
We’d love your feedback. If you try it out, let us know:
  • What worked well?
  • What would make it even more useful?
Batch Social Media jobs now include a “Capture embedded videos” option.
When turned on, Page Vault will:
  • Detect embedded videos in supported posts (including carousel video posts)
  • Download and include associated MP4 video files in your job results
This update ensures Facebook batch captures now include embedded video files — bringing them in line with Instagram behavior.
Batch Social Capture Embedded Videos Rectangular Loop
Note:
Capturing embedded videos can increase total job size. If videos are not necessary for your capture, it can be disabled by unchecking "Capture embedded videos".
Videos are delivered in standard MP4 format with a csv file with relevant metadata for broad compatibility across macOS and Windows.
We’ve expanded Page Vault’s OCR export capabilities to better support Relativity workflows.
What’s new
  • All customers now have the option to include OCR text files in their exports
  • When OCR text files are included, Page Vault now references them directly in:
  • .dat load files
  • Capture Summary .csv files via a new ocr_text_file_path column
Screenshot 2026-01-28 at 10
This ensures OCR text files can be loaded and associated with their corresponding PDFs during Relativity import, in line with Relativity’s load file specifications.
What this means for you
If you were
already exporting OCR text files
:
  • You can now load them directly into Relativity without manual mapping or workarounds.
If you
didn’t previously have access to OCR text files
:
  • You can now enable OCR text files in your exports and load them into Relativity as part of the same workflow.
Additional details
  • The new column is added as the
    last column
    to avoid disrupting existing downstream processes
  • If OCR text files aren’t included in an export, the column will be present but empty
This improvement was driven by consistent customer feedback from Relativity users and litigation support teams. Thanks for helping us continue to improve Page Vault exports.
