File Check In

After you check out and update a file, check it back in to Collaboration. When you check in a file, it becomes available for other users to check out and modify, and it is indexed for searching.

If you are checking a version of the file into a moderated folder, it remains checked out to you until it is approved by either a moderator of the folder or a user with Admin access to the folder.  After approval, this version is available to all users of the project.

If you want to upload a new file, click Upload in the action bar, not (check in), because you cannot check in a file that has not been checked out.

For step-by-step instructions on how to check in a file, see Checking In Documents.

Click Finish after you are done configuring the following:

Setting
Description

Language

From the drop-down list, select the language of the file content. You can specify a language different from the language of your project. Collaboration uses the language information when indexing your file for searching.

Comments

Optional. Type no more than 1,000 characters to describe the changes that you made on the file. The description appears in the File Versions page of the file.  

File

Click Browse to navigate to the location of the file. Double-click the file name to enter its full path into the File dialog box.

Keep checked out

If you want to keep the file you just uploaded checked out, select this check box. By keeping the file checked out, you prevent other users from changing it while you are still modifying it. While they cannot check it out, they can view the latest version you checked in.
