Release Notes for Altium Vault

This documentation page references Altium Vault, which has been discontinued. All your PCB design, data management and collaboration needs can now be delivered by Altium Designer and a connected Altium 365 Workspace.

The following sections list the release notes for publically released versions of Altium Vault 3.0

For a summary of new features and enhancements in Altium Vault 3.0, see New in Altium Vault. For those new features that are vault-based, but are accessed as part of designing with Altium Designer, see New In Altium Designer.
