Create Shortcuts

You can create a shortcut to a file. Rather than uploading multiple copies of the file to different projects, you can upload a single copy to a project and refer to it from other projects with shortcuts. When the file to which the shortcut is referring is deleted, the shortcut is automatically removed. When users who do not have security rights to the file click its shortcut, they will be denied access.

For step-by-step instructions on how to create shortcuts, see Creating Shortcuts.
