Check Files into a Vault with Other Vault Add-ins

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

Note: Revit Users refer to Save to Vault for more information.

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.
