Supporting Assemblies

A supporting assembly is an assembly that is part of an application, but is not part of an eCTD lifecycle for that application.

You can create as many supporting assemblies as you need. Circumstances when you might want to use supporting assemblies could include: making paper copies for CTD reviewers, or creating study reports. 

For example, if you need to create a CTD reviewer copy in addition to the eCTD sequences, you can copy the publishing view of the eCTD sequence to a supporting assembly, and then publish to paper from the supporting assembly.
