The first time a user signs in, the username field is blank and a sync session begins once the user is authenticated. For subsequent sign-ins, the username field automatically populates with the previously used username. Vault CRM does not store passwords.

3. Enter your username.
4. Select **Continue**.
5. Enter your password in the browser overlay. If you have single sign-on (SSO) configured, the third-party sign-in screen displays in the overlay. See Configuring Single Sign-on for more information about configuring SSO in Vault.
6. Complete the sign in process in the browser.
7. Select the **Vault CRM Desktop** app for Mac. An embedded browser window displays.
8. Follow the prompts to authenticate using your Vault credentials (OAuth).

The browser window closes once you are authenticated. If you have access to multiple Vaults, you are prompted to select which Vault to sync.

You can also launch the Vault CRM Desktop app for Mac directly from Vault CRM in your web browser:

1. Sign in to **Vault CRM**.
2. Navigate to a Call record and select **Start Media**.

The browser automatically opens the Vault CRM Desktop app for Mac. If you recently cleared your browser cookies, the system briefly runs a check, restores your connection, and then opens the app automatically.

### Downloading Presentations

To download all available presentations, select Download All from the app menu.

Alternatively, select one or multiple presentations in the Media Library List View and select the download icon.

### Syncing Content

Incremental Sync occurs automatically every time you log in or open the app after fully quitting. Full Sync occurs automatically every 24 hours. You can also manually trigger a full sync from the app menu. For more information on syncing, see [Sync Overview](../../Getting_Started/MobileDeviceSetup/Sync/SyncOverview.htm).
