  14. Select the document checkbox for the document that you want Learners to interact with when completing this training assignment, then click Save.

    Best Practice Add only one (1) training material per training requirement. Vault treats all documents under the Training Materials section as one set; therefore, every time one document is revised and sent for retraining, Vault requires retraining for all documents.
    Note You can add a document in any state to a Training Requirement. However, Learners can only train on steady state documents. For Draft to Effective documents, the steady state is Issued or Effective. For Draft to Approved documents, the steady state is Approved. For Initial to Final documents, the steady state is Final.
