    • Select the check box if you want a user who has read/write access to the content to make changes on a separate copy of the content instead of a shared version.

  7. To track and store previous versions of the document as the system is modified, select the Track Versions check box.

  8. To track and store information about who read the document and the date and time they did so, select the Track Reads check box.

    1. In the Expiration Date field, select the date on which the document is to expire.

      An expiration date does not affect the document.
