The Check Out Documents page allows you to check out and lock a document using the Check Out and Lock button. The document is copied to your local hard drive and locked in the library so other users cannot edit it.
You can also lock a document using the Lock Only button. This locks the document in the library so other users cannot edit it, but it does not copy the document to your local hard drive.
Fill out the fields as described below:
If there are multiple versions of a document available, you can select the specific version of the document to be checked out or locked using the buttons beneath the Version column.
The Download File page is displayed. If you are using Internet Explorer, right-click the document name link and select Save Target As. See Document Download for Internet Explorer for more information.
Note: If you cancel a document check-out after it has started, you are actually cancelling the file download. As a result, the document may show a status of “Checked out.” If this happens, you must manually unlock the document. | |
