If files are to be archived or - respectively - for security reasons (prior to modifications) duplication of files may often be desirable in order to ensure that an unaltered copy of the original file will be kept. Therefore, files can be copied from your computer to a vault. To work through this example, you must first complete the example Add New Files to aVault.
| Select Start > Documents > All Documents. The Document mask is opened.
| Search for DOC-1120 Ball Pen Description.

| Select the file to be copied.
| This operation can be performed with any available file.
