Question:

What is Duplicates Skipped when a user add Attachments in Vault PromoMats and Vault Medical?

Answer:

When a user adds an attachment within a document, Vault detects if other previously added files are the same in the targeted document.
If Vault detects a duplicate file, Vault skips the file and the below warning message appears: 

The file does not appear in the Attachments section.

The action is not recorded in the Audit Trail of the document affected.

Note: Vault checks only the file name, but not the content of the file added into the Attachments of the same document.

If a user tries to add a duplicate attachment with the same content but renamed it differently, Vault does not prevent the user to add the file.
