Check-out is the process of locking a content item so that no other users can revise it. You
must have write permission to the content item to check out a file or undo a check-out.
Only one user at a time can check out a file; however, multiple users can continue to view
the released file.
There are two approaches to checking out files:
❖
For content items that could be revised by other users, it is a good idea to check out
the file as soon as you know that you need to edit it. This notifies other users that you
will be making changes and prevents them from checking in a new revision.
❖
For content items that are unlikely to be revised by other users, you can make
revisions to a copy of the file, check out the content item, and immediately check it
back in with the edited file.
Once you have checked out a content item, you can either check in a revision or undo the
check-out.
