# Build Production Vault

Given a pre-production Vault, build a production Vault. This is analogous to the *Build* action in the Vault UI. After building your Vault, you can promote it to production.

You can build or rebuild the source Vault for a given pre-production Vault no more than three times in a 24 hour period.
