Raccogli (Imperative)
'Raccogli' is the informal singular imperative form of the verb 'raccogliere' (to collect, to gather). It is used to give a direct command to 'tu' (you, informal singular).
Tutti/e (All)
'Tutti' means 'all' and must agree in gender and number with the noun it modifies. Here, it's masculine plural for 'documenti' and implicitly covers 'prove' as well, or could be 'tutte' if only feminine nouns followed.
I / Le (Definite Articles)
'I' is the masculine plural definite article (the), used before 'documenti'. 'Le' is the feminine plural definite article (the), used before 'prove'.
Rilevanti (Relevant)
'Rilevanti' is an adjective meaning 'relevant'. It is plural and modifies both 'documenti' (masculine plural) and 'prove' (feminine plural). Adjectives ending in '-e' in the singular form their plural by changing to '-i' for both masculine and feminine.

✕Common Mistakes
Prendi tutti i documenti e le prove rilevanti.
While 'prendi' means 'take', 'raccogli' (collect/gather) is more appropriate for a comprehensive collection of items like documents and evidence in a formal context.
Raccogli tutti i documenti e le prove rilevante.
The adjective 'rilevante' must agree in number with the plural nouns 'documenti' and 'prove', so it should be 'rilevanti'.
