How Vault Works

Learn about the steps Autodesk Vault takes when a user checks a file out of a vault.

1. Vault client checks out a file.
2. Vault client sends a request for the file to the Vault server.
3. Vault server sends a query to the database.
4. Vault server copies the files from the file store to the client.

It is important to note that the client computer does not directly communicate with another client computer at any time.

Note: The option to configure remote SQL is available only with Vault Professional.
