Vanguard US Value Factor ETF Investment Risks - ETF Prospectus [Member] - Vanguard US Value Factor ETF	Nov. 30, 2025
General Market Risk [Member]
Prospectus [Line Items]
Risk [Text Block]	• General Market Risk. The markets in which the Fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the Fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the Fund over short or long periods.
Investing in Equity Markets Risk [Member]
Prospectus [Line Items]
Risk [Text Block]	• Investing in Equity Markets. The Fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the Fund.
Market Capitalization Risk [Member]
Prospectus [Line Items]
Risk [Text Block]	• Market Capitalization (Market Cap). Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small- and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.
Factor Investing Risk [Member]
Prospectus [Line Items]
Risk [Text Block]	• Factor Investing. The Fund’s strategy of investing in securities with value characteristics may cause it to underperform other stock funds that use a different investment style. The returns of the securities held in the Fund’s portfolio may be materially lower than those of the broader equity market over extended periods. Value stocks are subject to the risk that their valuations may not improve, and they may not reach their expected full market value. In addition, there may be periods when the value style of investing is out of favor, and during such periods, the performance of the Fund may suffer.
Active Management Risk [Member]
Prospectus [Line Items]
Risk [Text Block]	• Active Management. The Fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the Fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.
ETF Share Trading Risk [Member]
Prospectus [Line Items]
Risk [Text Block]	• ETF Share Trading. The Fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the Fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the Fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.
Authorized Participants Risk [Member]
Prospectus [Line Items]
Risk [Text Block]	• Authorized Participants. Only Authorized Participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants. The Fund’s Authorized Participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the Fund’s Authorized Participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the Fund and no other Authorized Participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the Fund, the Fund’s ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.
Risk Lose Money [Member]
Prospectus [Line Items]
Risk [Text Block]	As with any investment, an investment in the Fund could lose money over any time period.
Risk Not Insured Depository Institution [Member]
Prospectus [Line Items]
Risk [Text Block]	An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
