    If you are using a static secrets file, add the ``--secrets`` flag pointing to that file.
    This will fix any secrets that are missing or incorrect in Vault.
 
+#. Some Phalanx applications need to know whether the old or new secrets layout is in use.
+   On your working branch, add the necessary settings for those applications to their :file:`values-{environment}.yaml` files for your environment.

+   - :px-app:`datalinker` (``config.separateSecrets``)

+   - :px-app:`production-tools` (``config.separateSecrets``)

 #. You're now ready to test the new secrets tree.
    You can do this on a branch that contains the changes you made above.
