does VertexAttribPointer operate on the bound VAO only or does it work globally

Title.

E.g.
if I bind a VAO and then call vertexattribpointer, if I bind a different vao will the vertexattribpointer specifier still be used for other VAOs

All state related to attribute arrays is stored in VAOs. glVertexAttribPointer() changes the state of the current VAO. Binding a different VAO will use the state stored in that VAO.

Thank you. I am using the same vertex attribute number to store a vec3 in some VAOs and a mat4 in another
