What is Check-in/Check-out?
...
As documents are checked in, version control automatically version control automatically captures the latest changes and increments a new file version. All previous versions are also retained in the system. Users can view the status of documents, and know if a document is currently being worked by seeing the lock icon or is available for editing.
Document check-in and check-out are performed right from Copy to Teams and Copy to iManage from Teams via CAM. Additionally, check-ins and check-outs as well as unlocks are available in Analytics, or the Documents/Workspaces tabs.On check out, files immediately open in their native application.
...
Document check-in and check-out prevent loss of information by establishing version control and versioning all changes that are made.
Document check in/out creates a documented history, from which previous versions are accessible, and includes a viewable log of who made changes.
Users can see if a document is currently checked-out and being worked on by others.
Collaboration among a team is improved by avoiding overwrites and the possibility of multiple documents with versions being created.
Documents in a checked-out status may be viewed, but not changed by others.
