Binders allow you to organize and group documents in a flexible structure. Binders are comprised of sections, which can nest to build a hierarchical structure, and links to documents in Vault. Document links can point to uploaded content, placeholders, or other documents in the same binder. Binders have fields and display in the Library alongside other documents.
With binders, you can:
- Create binders from a template or start with an empty structure
- Navigate existing binder structures and the documents linked to them
- Add sections and documents into an existing binder
- Navigate between documents in a binder via embedded relative path hypertext links
Note: When a binder approaches 7,000 nodes, Vault displays a banner message. Binder nodes include documents, sections, and component binders.
Vault displays another banner when a binder nears 10,000 nodes. At this size, you cannot upversion, copy, or create a draft of the binder.
Binders cannot contain more than 50,000 nodes. When a binder reaches 50,000 nodes, Vault displays an error. At this size, Vault locks the binder. You cannot add components to the binder. You also cannot add components to a new or existing binder in bulk if the resulting binder would contain more than 50,000 nodes.
You can also access many of the same options from the Actions menu as are available for documents, although they have slightly different behavior for binders. Learn more about the binder specifics of these actions below.
Any document actions that affect content, such as Check Out or Upload New Version do not apply to binders.
