How to Create a New Anchor in Vault PromoMats and Medical?
Answer:
Annotate and Create Anchors permission is needed.
A user can create new anchors on the document to be used as a Reference or from the Promotional document while creating new links or editing existing links to the Reference. These anchors are available for use in any future links and remain even if the original link is deleted.

- On this Reference document, click the Select tool button and choose Anchor.
- Select text or an area as the anchor location that will serve as a reference.
- A grey annotation box comes up. Enter an Anchor Name, up to 140 characters. This name helps identify the anchor when linking the Reference to other documents. Click Save.
- To use the anchor as a reference, go to the Promotional document to be referenced and create a link.
Create a new anchor from the Promotional document
- Open the Promotional document to be referenced.
- Click the Select tool button and choose Link.
- To create a new link, select text or an area to be referenced, or find an existing link annotation and click the link icon button.
