16. Checking Out/Checking In Documents

16.1. Checking Out Documents

When you need to make changes to the content of one or more documents in your results grid, add a check to each row of the documents you would like to check out. When checking out only one document in your results grid, select that row.

Note

If you wish to check out multiple documents and the selected row does not contain a check in its checkbox, Content Central will only check out that selected row's document.

Once you've selected and/or checked the appropriate row(s), select the Check Out/In menu item from the Modify menu. The Check Out/In Document(s) dialog will appear.

Review your selections, then select the or button if you are satisfied. The Check Out/In Document(s) dialog will reload and those documents that were checked out will allow you to the documents or the check out process.

Note

Multiple documents will be compressed into a ZIP file for download.

Checking Out Multiple Documents

If any of the documents you selected for check-out were already checked out by another user, you may request that those documents be checked in. You can send a notice to both the user and administrators.

Requesting Documents to be Checked In

If you do not have permission to check out any of the selected documents, you will receive a message listing those documents. You will not be able to check out those documents.
