When Do You Check In a File?
You check in a file after you have changed it, and want to make these changes available for use at another time or by another user. The file you check out of an archive is called a workfile. Each time you check in a new variation of a workfile, it becomes a revision.
Version Manager assigns the first revision you check in the revision number 1.0, unless you specify otherwise. When you check in a new instance of the same file, it becomes the
tip revision, and is assigned the next highest number in sequence.
