Check in a Folder

Note: You must be logged into the vault to check files in and out of the vault.
  1. Select the application menu > Autodesk Vault Server > Check In Folder, or on the Autodesk Vault standard toolbar, click Check In Folder.
  2. In the Check In Folder dialog box, specify the local folder to be either added to the vault for the first time or checked back in to the vault.
  3. If the folder to check in has already been specified, Target Location in Vault is automatically set to the corresponding folder in the vault. If the folder to check in has not been set, specify a location in the vault for the folder. Click the browse button to browse the vault.
  4. Enter a comment to be included when the files are checked in to the vault. Make the comment descriptive regarding the version changes.
  5. Click OK. The folder and its contents are scanned and then displayed in the Check In dialog box. The Check In dialog box shows where the files will be added and provides access to the Settings dialog box.
  6. Click Settings to specify check in options such as folder structure or automatically creating visualization file attachments when .dwg files are checked in, and then click OK.
  7. Specify if you want to keep the files checked out for further editing or to delete the local copy of the files once they are checked in to the vault. Do not turn on the Close files and delete working copies setting when checking in files if you are using a shared working folder. Deleting the working copy from a shared working folder may delete files accessed by other users.
