Keep Checked Out

Select to continue editing. Your current changes are checked in (creating new versions in the vault), but the item remains checked out.

Local Ver.

The first number is the local (cached) version, or a hyphen (-) if locally modified. The second number is the latest version in the vault. For example, 4/6 means version 4 of 6.

New Ver.

Version number after check in. The text is bold if the operation will create a new version. A new version is not created, for example, if the item is not locally modified.

For non-latest child items, choose which version to link to by clicking and selecting:
  • Use Local Version to link to the local (cached) version.
  • Use Latest Version to link to the latest version in the vault.
Checked Out By

Checked Out In

Computer and local folder where the item is checked out, or blank if not checked out.

Referenced as
