Checking files out and in

Checking out a file prevents other users from making changes to it on the WebDAV server. When you're finished making edits, check in the file to update your changes to the server and release your lock on the managed file.

You can save changes to managed files that you have checked out. To save changes to managed files that you have not checked out, use the Save As command and add that new file to the workgroup server.

To check out a file:

Do one of the following:

• To check out the file that you already have open, choose File > Workgroup > Check Out.
• To open and check out a file at the same time, choose File > Workgroup > Open. Then, locate and select the file and click Check Out.

To check in a file:

Do one of the following:

• To check in the file and update changes to the server, choose File > Workgroup > Check In.
• To check in the file without updating changes to the server, choose File > Workgroup > Cancel Check Out.
