Check out For Edit

This command allows you to check one or more document out to modify it. The document is restricted but not opened in TopSolid.

Creation Stages / Use:

Select the Check out for edit... command from the popup menu on the documents or in the project tree.

Confirm checking out of the vault.

You can do multiple selections by holding the CTRL key while selecting before checking in or out.

You can only check out for modification documents that are checked in (blue lock in the project tree). The blue lock turns into a red check mark.

Checking out for edit creates a minor revision of the document. It is no longer available to other users.

Additional information:

To be able to work on the document checked out for modification and display it in TopSolid, select the Open document contextual command when hovering on the document.

To cancel the check-out for edit, select the Undo changes contextual command on the document. No change made to the part since it was checked out will be taken into account.

There will not be any command for the administrator to directly unlock a document checked out. The current solution is simple:

- The administrator searches for the concerned user's password.

- The administrator logs in with the user's login and password.

- The administrator uses the Undo changes command on checked out documents.
