Remove Local Document

In situations where documents are being shared among a work group or are being co-authored by more than one person, it is essential that a new and up-to-date copy of the file be downloaded every time it is to be modified. This key element of effective document management requires the ability to consistently ensure that documents that have been uploaded to a Library are removed from the local hard drive.

When a new imported document is uploaded or an existing document is checked back in to the library, the Smart Check In/Check Out component adds a check box (with a default value of No), which allows the user to choose to have the DM Classic Webtop delete the local document copy after it has been successfully uploaded.

This removal forces users to download a current copy next time they want to work with a document and ensures that a potentially out-of-date document is not accidentally worked with in the future.

	Note: Remove Local Document is not available when creating a new document using templates.
