Check files into a Vault

Use Check In for adding files to the vault for the first time and to check in a file that you have checked out.

If Embed images on check in is selected in Options, all file texture and environment images used in the file are embedded into the .wire file. This ensures that the texture and environment images are available when the .wire file is opened on another machine.

You cannot check Stage sets (.stg) into the vault.

Note: You must be logged into the Autodesk Vault Server to check files in and out of the vault.

You can check in your updates and keep the file checked out to you by selecting the Keep files checked out option on the Check In dialog box. When you are finished with your edits, check the file back into the vault. This makes the file available for another user to check out and for other team members to get the latest version of the file.

Check a file into a Vault

Open the file you want to check into the vault.
Choose File > Vault Server > Check In.
If you have not saved the file prior to attempting check in, you are prompted to save and continue.
If the file you are checking in is not under the cone of the working folder, the Select Vault Location dialog box appears. Select a vault folder in which to check the files and click OK.
In the Check In dialog box, specify:
- if you want to keep the file checked out for further editing
- whether or not to delete the local copy of the file once it is checked in to the vault
- whether or not to create and attach a preview image of the file
Enter any notes in the comment box.
Click OK to complete the check-in and to close the dialog box or click Cancel to cancel the check into the vault operation and close the dialog box.
If the file you are checking in is under the cone of the working folder, but an equivalent folder does not exist in the vault, the folder is created automatically when the file is checked in.

You can release your reservation on a file in the vault by using the Undo Check Out command.
