Create reference

Create reference

Available in: Ribbon > Start

Use this function to create a reference to a document or folder selected in the repository. A reference establishes a connection between a copy of an original document, while the document only exists once physically. All changes to the document automatically affect the references. This avoids filing duplicates.
