What is Check-Out?
Checking out is a security feature that you can use to help prevent overwriting - documents that need to be "checked out" can only be edited by one user at a time.
To edit a document, you must first check it out and then check it back in once you're finished. Document check-out feature eases collaboration and shows if a document is being worked on by others. As documents are checked in, 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 on 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. On check out, files immediately open in their native application.
