Taking a Vault Offline and Bringing a Vault Online
When you take a document vault offline, M-Files closes the vault. This also closes any open sessions that users may have. Users cannot log in to a document vault that has been taken offline until the vault has been brought back online.
When a vault is taken offline, all vault users are disconnected. If a user checks
out a document for editing and makes modifications to the content, during which the
vault administrator takes the vault offline, the user is unable to check in the
document until the vault is brought back online. It is therefore not recommended to
carry out unscheduled operations that require the vault to be taken offline.Taking a Vault Offline
