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.

Options/Controls

Content Cart

• Use the Content Cart to copy content from Altium Content Vault into Altium Vault - this is a description of what the Content Cart will accomplish.
