m In the Vaults panel, click the disclosure triangle beside the vault name.
You can easily see the amount of free space your vault has available next to the vault

of the Library and to allow the Library to grow as you import new images over time.

Aperture update a particular vault or all of your vaults at once.

1 In the Vaults panel, click the Update All Vaults button.
2 In the dialog that appears, click Update All Vaults.

pop-up menu.

If you keep a backup of your system on an offsite hard disk drive, you’ll occasionally
need to bring it in for updating. Aperture keeps track of the hard disks that have been
disconnected from their vaults. When you reconnect a hard disk drive, Aperture
automatically detects the hard disk, determines which vault it’s assigned to, and
reconnects the vault. A message appears asking if you want update the hard disk with
the latest Library information.
Click the disclosure
triangle to see which
hard disk is assigned
to the vault.
