To view or edit Vault Toolbox settings, open the **Settings** editor and search for **Vault Toolbox**, or click in the header of the Vault Toolbox panel. ## Connection Settings Each of the following settings sets defaults for how Vault Toolbox should connect to environments: * **API Version**: The Vault API version to use, for example `v26.2`. Leave this setting blank to discover the Vault's latest supported version at connect time. * **Auto Connect**: Automatically connect to the active environment when a workspace opens. Disabled by default. ## File Location Settings Each of the following settings is a workspace-relative folder. Vault Toolbox writes into a subfolder named after the connected Vault's ID under each. Each of these settings can also be changed from its own action's *Change Location* link or dialog, which opens the same setting. * **MDL Directory**: Where [extracting MDL from Vault](/quality/vault-toolbox/vs-code-extension/guides/mdl) writes to, with a further subfolder per component type. Defaults to `vault-toolbox/mdl`. * **SDK Code Directory**: Where [extracting Java SDK Code from Vault](/quality/vault-toolbox/vs-code-extension/guides/vault-java-sdk-code) writes to, laid out as a Java package tree. Defaults to `vault-toolbox/sdk`. * **Config Report Directory**: Where [downloading Vault Configuration Reports](/vault-toolbox/vs-code-extension/guides/mdl#Downloading_Vault_Configuration_Reports) writes to, with a further subfolder per run (by timestamp), so each report is kept as a point-in-time snapshot rather than overwritten. Defaults to `vault-toolbox/config`. * **Developer Logs Directory**: Where [developer logs](/quality/vault-toolbox/vs-code-extension/guides/developer-logs) downloads to, with further subfolders per log type and log date. Re-downloading the same date refreshes that date's file. Defaults to `vault-toolbox/logs`. --- **Previous:** [References](/quality/vault-toolbox/vs-code-extension/references) **Next:** [Vault Toolbox Designer](/quality/vault-toolbox/toolbox-designer)
