When you finish editing a checked out document, you
must check it in to update the original in the Document Workspace. This
removes the lock so the updated version is available for other
users.
To edit and check in the document:
- Make some changes to your open document (local.docx) and save the document.
- On the Status tab of the Document Management task pane, click Check in (or click the Microsoft Office button and select Server, then Check In).
-
Enter an appropriate comment on the Check In
dialog box and click OK.
Note: The option Keep the document checked out after checking in this version enables you to update the content while keeping the document checked out to you. For the purpose of this tutorial, do not select this option.
The Status tab in the task pane is cleared, indicating the document is now checked back into the site. The SPP site in Share no longer displays the lock icon previously associated with the file local.docx.
-
(Optional) To verify the check-in in Share:
- Open Share in any browser (http://<SkyVault Share URL:8080>/share/) and log in as User A (userA, userA).
- Click the site name, SPP, on your My Sites dashlet.
-
Click Document Library.
The file local.docx no longer displays the message.
- Log out of Share and close the browser.
