Checking In Content

When you initially check in new content, the check-in process adds the file to the Server as the newest version in the document hierarchy and places the file under version control. When you check in existing content, the check-in process adds the content as a new version.

To prevent others from editing content a lock may be placed on the content when it is checked out. If the content is locked by an author, the content cannot be checked in by a different author. The author has the option to release the lock.

Using batch check-in mode, you can check in a folder of content or managed documents via the Editor.

1. Create or open a document or course.
2. Select File > Check In > Check In Current.
