Checking reports in and out

You can check in or check out reports and folders. To edit a report, check it out. To store your changes and make the report available to other users, check it in.

By default, reports are checked in/out recursively when you right-click the folder and select Check In or Check Out. That is, the selected object and its children (if not checked out to other users) are checked in or out. Also by default, no dialog is displayed during check in/out.

In the Check Out and Check In dialogs, you can specify whether the check in or check out is recursive. And you can add a comment if required. Comments can be a maximum 200 characters and are displayed in the History dialog. They cannot be edited or deleted.

To keep a record of changes, enable the version history. Use the version history to get an earlier version of an object.
