When you view a file, Documentum Administrator either streams the file to your computer or downloads a copy of the file to a directory on your local machine. By default, the copy is stored in the C:\Documentum\Viewed directory. The file is not checked out from the repository. You can make changes to the file locally, but you cannot save your changes to the repository. If another file with the same name already exists in the view directory, Documentum Administrator appends the name with a number. You can view a file even if it is checked out by another user.

To view links inside an HTML file, you must have virtual link installed.
