Configure Vault Options for the Vault Client

The Options dialog box in the Vault stand-alone client allows you to customize as well as streamline your workflow by suppressing certain dialog boxes and prompts.

You can also enable the document previewer. The document previewer allows you to preview a document in the preview pane without launching the application associated with the document.

Access the Options Dialog

From within Autodesk Vault, select Tools > Options.

Note: As a best practice, it is recommended to click the Refresh button on the Autodesk Vault ribbon to apply the latest settings.
