First open and right-click the project that you want to check-in to Vault. In the context menu that appears, select Autodesk Vault and then the kind of check-in that you prefer.
There are seven different kinds of check-ins to choose from, as shown in the figure below.
Please remember that you cannot check-in a version, if you have not checked in a revision before. That is because a "version" is considered to be a sub-level of a "revision".

The table below lists all seven alternatives, including explanations.

A small check-in will not update the presentation of the project in Vault, but the content will be saved in Vault. It is considered a preliminary update of the project, primarily aimed at providing a backup. It is typically used when you are ready with your work for the day, but the work is neither finished, nor approved. |
Large check-in of primary revision |
Yes |

A large check-in will update the presentation of the project in Vault, and the content will also be saved there. The project will remain in cadett ELSA but will be locked. A primary revision is a major update, meaning on the top level, for example number 1. |

Large check-in of secondary revision |

A secondary revision is a second level update, meaning a less extensive update than a primary revision. It will have a number on the second level, for example 2.1. |
