Checking Out Documents

When you need to make changes to the content of one or more documents in your results grid, add a check to each row of the documents you would like to check out. When checking out only one document in your results grid, select that row.

NOTE:  If you wish to check out multiple documents and the selected row does not contain a check in its checkbox, Content Central will only check out that selected row’s document.

Once you’ve selected and/or checked the appropriate row(s), select the Check Out/In menu item from the Modify menu. The Check Out/In Document(s) dialog will appear.

Review your selections, then select the Screen Shot 2016-02-24 at 10.59.28 AM or Screen Shot 2016-02-24 at 11.00.07 AM button if you are satisfied. The Check Out/In Document(s) dialog will reload and those documents that were checked out will allow you to Screen Shot 2016-02-24 at 11.01.05 AM the documents or Screen Shot 2016-02-24 at 11.01.30 AM the check out process.

NOTE:  Multiple documents will be compressed into a ZIP file for download.

Checking In Documents

After you’ve finished modifying documents, you may upload the new file(s) back to Content Central. The easiest way to accomplish this is by accessing these checked-out documents from your Folders frame.

Access the Folders frame by selecting the Screen Shot 2016-02-23 at 10.21.49 AM button from the main menu.

Content Central The Checked Out Document List

Just as before when checking out documents, add a check to each row of the documents you would like to check in. When checking in only one document in your results grid, select that row.

Once you’ve selected and/or checked the appropriate row(s), select the Check Out/In menu item from the Modify menu. The Check Out/In Document(s) dialog will appear.

Review your selection(s), then browse to each document location on your local machine.

Select the button when you are ready to upload the modified documents. The Check Out/In Document(s) dialog will reload after uploading completes, and those documents that were checked in will now be allowed for check-out once more. If you are finished, close the Check Out/In Document(s) dialog.
