# Enable Creating Safety Investigations from Literature Articles

Learn how to configure your Vault so users can create a _Safety Investigation_ directly from a _Literature Article_.

## About the Feature

With the 24R3 release, users can create a _Safety Investigation_ for each _Product Family_ on a _Literature Article_ with an independent _Investigation Review Outcome_ that requires further action. Safety creates a _Literature Data_ record to relate the _Safety Investigation_ to the _Literature Article_. This allows for a _Safety Investigation_ to be linked to multiple _Literature Articles_ and _Products_ in _Literature Articles_.

After you have configured this feature, see <a href="/en/lr/896826/#safety-investigation-from-literature-article">Create Safety Investigations for Signal Management</a>
and <a href="/en/lr/752958/#scenarios">Create Safety Investigations for Signal Data Sources</a> for more information.

## Grant Permissions

Ensure your <a href="/en/lr/22824/#object-permissions">permission sets</a> are updated to grant the appropriate level of access for users to objects and fields according to your organization's process.
