Checking In Files

You check in files after editing to make them available to users with appropriate rights. Until you check in a file, changes are saved in your local version only.
The new version of each checked in file is associated with the current versions of its references. When this file version is accessed, all reference versions are retrieved as if they were attached.
  1. Right-click a file or folder and click Check In.
  2. In the Check in dialog box, select one or more files to check in, and set column values as needed.

    See Check In Dialog Box.

  3. Enter a comment to identify the version.
  4. Click Check in.
  • Turning Off Check In of Simulation Results

  • Check In Dialog Box
