Checking out a file

You must check a file out of the vault in order to change it.

To check out the file, you need to open it for editing in the integration. The file is opened in read-only mode and cannot be modified until it is checked out. If you try to perform any modification in it, you will be prompted to check it out first. This is done to protect the integrity of your data.

Two types of Check Out are available:

Check Out

This option is usually used for minor design revision changes. A minor check-out results in a higher sequence number within the current revision for the checked out file, for example from A0001 to A0002.

Check Out Major

This option is usually used for significant changes with major impact on the form, fit or functionality of the product. A major check-out results in a higher version number for the checked out file, for example from A0001 to B0001.
