Check out document

To checkout a document using Enterprise Manager

  1. Right-click the document and select Collaborative Check Out or Exclusive Check Out (default).
  2. If the document has content, use the Windows Open dialog box to select a network location and click Open. You will be asked if you want to edit the file.
  3. If you click Yes, you can edit the file only if the local machine has a properly installed application appropriate to the content element's Mime Type. When the editing session is over, the document object will appear in Enterprise Manager as checked out.

NOTE  You can check out only the most recent version of a document. Checking out earlier versions is not supported.

NOTE  You can also check out a document from the General tab of the document's Properties sheet using the Actions >> button.

See Versioning actions for information about collaborative and exclusive checkouts.
