Notes:

A document can be related to only one stack at any time though it can be linked to multiple stacks.
You can click the document name displayed in the Document List pane to open it in the Display pane of the Stack window.
The simplest way of relating a document to stack is by dragging and dropping the document to the Document List section.
When you relate a Stack with a document, a strong link is created between the two. This means if you delete a Stack, all the documents that are related to it will also be deleted. You can use Links to create a loose link between a Stack and a document. In that case, if you delete a Stack, its linked documents will not be deleted and vice-versa. For more information, see Link the selected Stack.
