  8. Fill out any required fields.

  9. Select the Source Binding Rule to be applied to the CrossLink.

    • Latest Steady State version: CrossLink is automatically updated when the source document reaches a steady state version.

    • Latest version: CrossLink is automatically updated with the latest version of the source document (dynamic binding).

    • Specific document version: CrossLink document is updated only if a user specifically edits the version of the source document that is bound. Vault will not modify your CrossLink if users create newer versions of the source document.

  10. Click Save.

The CrossLink document is saved in the Draft state. CrossLink documents follow their own lifecycles and workflows, not those of the source document.
