# Evidence Management

Manage evidence items, storage items, physical locations, and audit workflows across Monolith.

The **Evidence Management** section brings together the tools used to track evidence, storage, physical locations, and inventory verification throughout Monolith.

Use these areas to maintain an accurate record of what your organization has, where items are located, and how they move through your workflow.

### Evidence Items

**Evidence Items** provides an organization-wide view of evidence entered into Monolith.

Use it to find and review evidence across cases, work with evidence details, and access related evidence workflows.

See **Evidence Items** for additional guidance.

### Storage Items

**Storage Items** tracks the physical or digital media used to preserve forensic data.

Storage items can be managed independently or associated with cases and evidence depending on your workflow.

See **Storage Items** for setup and usage guidance.

### Item Locations

**Item Locations** models the physical locations used by your organization for evidence and storage movement.

Locations are organized by Office and can represent users, evidence rooms, shelves, lockers, cages, work areas, and other places where items may be located.

See **Item Locations** to learn how Offices, Location Groups, and individual locations work together.

### Audits

**Audits** helps your organization verify that evidence and storage items are physically located where Monolith expects them to be.

Audits can be used as part of routine inventory checks and evidence accountability workflows.

See **Audits** for additional guidance.
