Hi Joe,
I’m glad that you asked. Please, no matter how dumb you feel the question might be always feel free to ask.

Once Plasma Vault is installed on your workstation you should see a black lock icon appear on the bottom panel of your KDE Plasma along with Net, Battery, and Volume indicators. If you can’t see it there then you might need to add it yourself by adding a new Plasma Widget.

Let me refer you to this video as it might be of help -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vxlIXnuVuM

This may be really, really dumb (or I’m having a fantastic senior moment). But how does one invoke plasma vault???
I installed it without incident or difficulty and expected to be able to call it up via krunner or from the apps launcher. But it’s not there.
On reflection, I thought it might be a new property or action accessible by right-clicking on a folder. Nope, apparently not.
I’m running the latest version of KDE available from the repos for Fedora 27. Any info is appreciated

True. I should have mentioned it’s for testers.

The article should state that this won’t be released until Plasma 5.11. For now it’s available for testing in Neon Developer Edition. Looking forward to using this once released.
