  • Hi,

    First of all which version of sharepoint you are using?

    Have you uploaded a document at multiple places in the application?

    If yes then they will not be depending on each other and will act as different documents.

    I hope this will help.

    Thanks,

  • It sounds like you would be better off having one single document library and multiple views in different locations, possibly filtered by different metadata attached to the document.

    No, I haven't uploaded any documents to multiple places yet.  I wanted to find out if my query was a possiblility first.  It sounds like it is not. 

    Thanks for your reply.
