# Enabling Copy Link

<a href="/en/gr/53199/">Copy Link</a>
 is a way to share links to Vault documents or to <a href="/en/gr/9753/#document-page-navigation">pages</a>
, <a href="/en/gr/3437/">bookmarks</a>
, or <a href="/en/gr/48460/">destinations</a>
 within Vault documents. Copy Link creates and copies a permalink to the clipboard. Users can then paste the copied link to another location, such as an email. Clicking the copied permalink takes the user to the latest version of the document for which they have _View Document_ permission, if any. Users can also create link annotations with these permalinks as the link target.

## How to Enable Copy Link

You can enable the Copy Link feature from **Admin > Settings > General Settings**. Set the **Enable Copy Link and unlock Permalink Object Type** checkbox to enable the feature.

## How to Enable Linking to Permalinks {#linking-to-permalinks}

After you enable the Copy Link feature, you can set the **Enable linking to permalinks** checkbox. This allows users to create link annotations to permalink targets.

Note that if you disable this feature after users create link annotations to permalinks, users can still navigate to existing permalink targets but cannot create new ones.

## About the Permalink Object

When users click **Copy Link** or create a link annotation to a permalink, Vault automatically creates a _Permalink_ object record. If a permalink already exists for that document, page, destination or bookmark, Vault uses the existing record.

Note that if you change the label for the _Permalink_ object in your Vault, users see this label when choosing to <a href="/en/gr/15303/#permalinks">create links to permalinks</a>
.

### Accessing Permalink Object Records

You can see all _Permalink_ object records that Vault creates from **Business Admin > Objects > Permalinks**.

      <p><strong>Note</strong>: Setting a <em>Permalink</em> object record to <em>Inactive</em> does not prevent users from copying a link to the same target, following copied links to that target, or creating a link annotation to that permalink.</p>
