The Content Cart dialog
Summary
The Content Cart dialog allows the user to copy contents from a source Vault to an Altium Vault Server. This is control-central for defining what is to be acquired from the source vault and transferred into the nominated target vault – a trusty removal van that 'carts' your nominated data between established vault residences.
Access
The dialog is accessed by right-clicking on an Item in the Vaults panel from the source Vault (DXP » Vault Explorer), then selecting Add to Content Cart from the right-click menu.
