      Pro Interface

      With the MN Housing Professional role, professionals who support clients get advanced management of their files and contacts in the Vault. This makes the Vault interface more complex.

      Once you get the MN Housing Professional role, you cannot go back to the regular Vault interface. If you do not ask for the MN Housing Professional role during registration, you can get it later by updating your account Profile information. Watch this video to learn more.
