How to Use the Create Button

The Create button appears everywhere in your Vault except the Admin 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.
