Open Files from a Vault

You can open and edit from a vault using the Vault Client or many of the Vault add-ins.

The version of the file that is opened depends on which Vault edition you are using:

In Vault Basic, the latest version is retrieved from the vault, as well as any children stored in the vault.
In Vault Workgroup and Vault Professional, the latest version of the selected revision is retrieved from the vault, as well as any children stored in the vault.
