# Custodians Module Overview

Custodians are the persons or entities producing documents for a project. Assigning documents by custodian may be done at import or afterward in the **Custodians Module** to assist in evaluating streams of data for review.

After data is imported into the project, the import shows up as a tree view within the **Unassigned Project Data** section. By default, the tree view will recreate the folder structure of the source data down to the folder level. A different view can be applied to the data by clicking the **Split Efile/Emai**l button in the **Custodians Ribbon**. If this setting is chosen, the top level item in the tree view is the import path followed by the data classification where Efiles are separated from Email. Underneath the **Efiles** and **Email** the tree view recreates the folder structure for the source data down to the folder level.
