    After importing documents

    Set state to Under Quick Change: The documents must be released from the Quick Change workflow before their status is Released.

    Set state to Unchanged: The documents are not in a workflow. The Unchanged status is equivalent to Released except that it does not result from a workflow.

    This setting impacts the Import hybrid components as parts of the hybrid document type setting.

    Use document type security

    Select this option to restrict user access to specific document types. For information on security roles, see Security Roles.

    This setting affects the options available for the Document type availability setting.

    Use renditions

    Enable this option if documents in this vault will be rendered or published by Publisher. This option enables the rendition features in the client applications.

    This setting impacts the Generate renditions after the following transitions setting and the Update rendition setting.

    To specify the default file extension of documents to import as renditions of existing documents during drag-and-drop operations, set the DefaultRenditionExtension setting to the file extension, for example, .pdf. This setting can be configured in the [Vault] section of the Application Integration settings as described in Configure Managed Change.
