Checking Out a File

Checking out a file 'locks' the file so that other users cannot upload new versions of the file. Users can view and download a checked out file.

Note: If Approval is required, you cannot upload a new version of a checked out file. In that case, you must:

undo the check out
upload the new version of the file.

Navigate to the file you want to check out. (How do I navigate to a file or folder?)
Click the drop-down arrow at the far right of the file name.

Where is the drop-down arrow?
From the Workflow option, click Check out. The screen refreshes and the file is checked out.

RESULT:

You have successfully checked out a file. After modifying the file, perform the steps to store the updated file in SFX, and then perform the file check in task.
