Content items are added to or created in spaces within
the SkyVault
repository.
You can view and work with content items within the spaces themselves or on your own hard drive. There is no limit to the type or number of content items that can be stored in SkyVault.
- Adding content to spaces You can add content items to SkyVault spaces in several ways.
- Viewing content View a content item directly in SkyVault without needing to download or check out a copy to your hard drive.
- Editing content There are two options available for editing documents: Edit Online and Edit Offline.
- Adding versioning to content Enable versioning for a content item to track the revisions made to that item.
- Downloading content to your computer Download a content item from the repository to save a copy to your computer without checking it out.
- Updating content The Upload New Version function enables you to update a content item in the repository with content from your computer.
- Approving and rejecting a content item If a content item is part of a simple workflow – that is, it resides in a space for which simple content review workflow has been defined – you can approve it. The approve action may be followed in the action list by a rejection action.

- Taking ownership of content You can take ownership of content from someone else.
