# About the Create Button

The **Create** button is available in your Vault's menu bar. This button allows you to create:

  * Documents from files on your computer
  * Documents from configured templates
  * Content placeholders
  * Binders
  * CrossLinks
  * User tasks
  * Object records
  * Reports
  * Dashboards

## How to Use the Create Button

The **Create** button appears everywhere in your Vault except the <a href="/en/lr/728/">_Admin_</a> area. What the **Create** button creates depends on the context. For example, if you click **Create** from the _Library_, it will create a new document. See the table below for details.

You can click the arrow on the right side of the **Create** button to view the _Create_ drop-down menu and select either the contextual option, **Document**, **User Task**, or one of the three most recent _Create_ options you've used.
