Sharing Files
Shared files exist in two or more folders concurrently. Shared files
are marked with a yellow plus-sign in the icon in the Explorer view.
Check out a shared file from any location to check out all instances.
Check in the file to save modifications to the vault and to all instances
of the file. Only one user
at a time can check out a shared file.
The right to share files
is set up by the administrator and defined in the workflow.
To share a file using Share Here
Right-click the file to be shared and drag it
to the appropriate folder.
Select Share
Here from the displayed menu.
To share a file using Paste Shared:
Note: Although it is possible
to paste shared assemblies, it
is not recommended as it can create problems with check in and check out.
Right-click the file to be shared and select Copy.
Right-click the destination folder and select
Paste Shared.
If the source file being shared
is checked out, the new instance remains checked out and in the same state
as the original.
