A content version is only created from an original application file that is not stored in a secure area in its current processing status. Each content version can have one or more Additional files assigned to it.

The secure area where the content versions are to be transported is determined with the following checks:

The system checks if the user has a profile allocated when an original application file is stored in a secure area for the first time. In this case the storage occurs in the given storage category
The setting is only read for document types that support storage using the Knowledge Provider.
