| − | The Vault is a feature which allows you store pieces from a game. Currently it only supports storing Characters, but additional functionality is planned for the future for other types of game content (such as pages/maps, handouts, decks, etc.) Once an item is stored in the Vault, it can then be exported out to other games that you are a participant in.

| − | The Character Vault allows you to store your own Characters so that you can use them in multiple games without the need to re-create them from scratch each time. For example, in society-style play you have a single Character that you play many different game sessions with, across different GMs, etc. Previously on Roll20 you would need to keep track of that Character yourself and then re-create it in each new game. However with the Vault feature, you can import the Character out of a game and into your Vault, and then re-export it out of your Vault and into a new game. Rinse and repeat, and now you've got a Character that travels with you between games.

| − | The Vault is also useful for GMs to store pre-generated PCs that they may want to use in multiple Campaigns, a stable of interesting NPCs, etc.

| − | You can import a character to your Vault from any Campaign you are a player or GM in. However, if you are a player in the game you must have permission to edit the Character to be able to import it to your Vault. Importing Characters is easy -- just click the "Import Character" button on the main Vault page. You'll see a list of Campaigns to choose from. After you choose a Campaign, you'll see a list of Characters that you have permission to edit. Just choose the Character you want to import and press the "Import Character" button. The process may take a few seconds to complete.

| − | Note that once the Character is in your Vault, it is stored as a "snapshot", meaning that it will no longer update or receive changes from the Campaign it came from. If you want to import an "updated" version of a Character, just delete the existing Character from your vault, and re-import it from the Campaign.

| − | When you are ready to use a Character from your Vault in a new game, click the "Export to Campaign" link next to the Character on the main Vault page. You'll be presented with a list of eligible Campaigns to export the Character to. Note that you can only export Characters to Campaigns where:

| − | 2. You are a player of the Campaign and the GM has expressly turned on the "Allow Players to Import Characters" setting on the Campaign Settings page for that Campaign.

| − | If a Campaign you want to export a Character to isn't showing up in the list, be sure that one of those criteria are met, and then reload the page.

| − | Once the Character is exported to the Campaign, it will be up to the GM of that game to set it up (giving you permission to edit it) properly.
