What does the Control Number represent in Relativity?

• A. the document title
• B. the creation date
• C. the workspace identifier
• D. the user role

Answer: (C)

In Relativity, the Control Number is the unique reference assigned to each document within a workspace. It stays with the document as it moves through processing, review, and production, so you can reliably locate the exact item even if metadata like the title or dates changes. Because this identifier is defined within a specific workspace, it uniquely identifies that document in that workspace and serves as the anchor for linking to its source file, load file mapping, and subsequent actions. This makes the Control Number a workspace-level reference for that document. The other options describe attributes of the document (title, creation date) or the system/permissions (user role), not the stable reference used to identify and track a single item.
