Want to integrate Vault with Visual Studio?

First, determine if you'd like to use the “classic client” or the “enhanced client.” We explain the differences here:

To enable IDE integration with Visual Studio:

Within Visual Studio select Tools – Options , expand Source Control and select Plug-in Selection.

A dropdown menu will exist under “Current source control Plug-in” providing you with the option to chose between the enhanced client or the classic client.
