Global ID and link fields allow you to keep track of object records and documents when implementing external and/or Vault-to-Vault integrations.
Global ID Fields
Global ID fields are universal identifiers that allow you to keep track of and reference object records, documents, and document versions in external and Vault-to-Vault integrations. This can be useful when copying documents and object records from one Vault to another or maintaining a single identifier for a document or object record between Vault and an external system.
