Will propagation affect the coding of duplicate family members in a document set?

The correct answer is that only the specific coding decision will carry over. In the context of document review and coding, propagation refers to the process of automatically applying coding decisions made for one document to duplicate documents. However, this process does not treat all duplicates as equivalent, because each duplicate may have unique attributes, contexts, or relevance that could lead to different coding outcomes.

When a coding decision is made for a single document, that decision can indeed propagate to its duplicates, but it is crucial to remember that this does not imply a blanket coding for all duplicates. Each duplicate may need to be reviewed independently to either confirm the propagated coding or adjust it based on its specifics. Thus, the coding applied is specific to the document being reviewed and may not represent a one-size-fits-all approach for duplicates.

The other options suggest broader or more uniform coding effects that do not capture the nuances involved in document review, where specific considerations often dictate whether or not coding decisions should be applied uniformly across duplicates. This highlights the importance of treating each document with the careful consideration it warrants, even if some decisions may initially seem applicable across all duplicates.
