To check out, check in, or reset a checkout of a file in the Company level Documents tool.
After uploading a file to the Documents tool, you can upload new versions, or you can check files in and out. If you work in an environment where multiple people have access to edit files, it is recommended that you check files in and out to prevent conflicts such as overriding another user's changes.
Checking out a file downloads a copy of the current version of the file to your computer so you can update it. While the file is checked out, other users will not be permitted to upload a newer version of the file. When your file updates are ready, you can then upload the new version which also checks the file back into the tool.
Checking in a file allows you to upload a newer version of the file. When a file is checked in, other users with the appropriate access permission can then perform a check-out if they want to update the file.
Resetting a checkout cancels a checkout so that other users with the appropriate access permission can check out the file. A reset can be performed by a user with 'Admin' level permission to the Documents tool.
