Global Objects allow processes, value streams and managed documents to be shared with selected companies within the same instance. The object remains owned and managed by the company where it was created, while other companies with access can view and use the published object where applicable.
The company where the object was created, is called the source company.
Other companies that have been granted access can view and use the shared object, but they cannot edit it.

How Global Objects work
A Global Object:
Remains in its source company.
Can be shared with selected companies.
Must be published before it appears in another company.
Can only be edited and managed in its source company.
Displays the source company when viewed from another company.
To make the object available again, it must be published in its source company.
