Viewing the contents of a document

You can view the contents of a document, open the document, and find documents that are similar to a selected document. You can view and open documents imported from a file system.

You only view and open source documents imported from a database if they have been imported as DOC_LINK references to file system documents. If a document is composed of multiple DOC_LINK file system documents, the first referenced document is returned for viewing.
