Description: When a document is opened by a user, a lock is placed on the file that prevents it from being modified by another user under it name until it is closed. The Check In feature removes the lock on previously open files so that other users can access them after you have modified them.

Directions:

  • You can find all checked out documents at Views under Checked Out or in the folders.
  • Highlight the file you wish to check in. The file is marked with an exclamation mark inside a red circle.
  • Select Check In on the Command Row.
  • Select Yes from the pop up window. The exclamation mark disappears.

When you close out of a session, all files that were checked out will be automatically checked in.
