Use the Site window to check in and check out files on a remote server. You can also undo a check out without transferring the file so that it's available to other team members to check out.
To check out files from a remote server:
1 | Choose the desired site from the current sites pop-up menu at the top of the Site window. |
2 | Select one or more files and right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) and choose Check Out from the shortcut menu, or click the Check Out button at the top of the Site window. |
3 | Click Yes at the prompt to download any dependent files. |

Checked-out files are marked with a green check mark; new files have neither a check mark nor a lock symbol associated with them. | |
3 | Click Yes at the prompt to upload any dependent files. |
It is always a good idea to upload dependent files when checking in a new file. | |
