| The user sees all files in the vault and any local files or folders that currently exist only in the local vault view.
A local file is listed as <local file> in the state column and its file icon is grayed out. A local folder has a grayed out folder icon. Local files and folders must be added to the vault to be available to other users.
A file or folder can become local if SOLIDWORKS PDM has not detected the file extension as a valid file type when saving it from an application, or if the files or folders were added during an offline session. Some files, like backup files, should only be local and never added to the vault.
To make a local file available to other users, right-click it and select Add To File Vault.
By default, if the logged in user's permission restrict access to files or folders that have previously been accessed, the cached copies of the files and folders appear as local files in the local file vault view. They cannot be added to the vault since they are already in it. Ensure that the logged in user has sufficient permissions to see the files, or enable Show only files that are part of the file vault to avoid seeing the local copies.
