# Document User Actions



This API allows you to initiate the following user action types:

* **Workflow** (legacy): This action starts the specified legacy workflow. Only legacy workflows that are already configured and active for the selected lifecycle are available. To start a document workflow, see [Document Workflows](/vault-api/api-reference/25.1/document-lifecycle-workflows/document-workflows).

* **State Change**: This action allows the user to manually move a document into a different lifecycle state. Vault enforces entry criteria and entry actions for the state change.

* **Create Presentation**: This action is only available in PromoMats and Medcomms. It creates multiple *Multichannel Slide* documents and a *Multichannel Presentation* binder from a single document. This applies to Vaults that are configured for Engage integration or CLM integration.

* **Create Email Fragment**: This action is only available in PromoMats and MedComms Vaults that are configured for *Approved Email Integration*. It creates an email fragment for a document by applying a master email fragment.

To initiate user actions on binders, see [Binder User Actions](/vault-api/api-reference/25.1/document-lifecycle-workflows/binder-user-actions).

Your Vault may include other user action types, not all of which can be initiated through Vault API. Learn more about [document user action types in Vault Help](https://platform.veevavault.help/en/lr/12339#types).

The API does not support initiation of user actions requiring eSignatures.
