Accessing Additional Storage in Codex (Vault)
Additional Storage is now directly accessible from Codex as the Vault. It is enabled by default for all organisations, so no configuration is required.
To use Vault in Codex:
Click the + icon in the Codex prompt bar.
Select From Vault from the menu.
Browse and select the files you want to bring into the current Codex session.
