Checking in all your locked files

If you check out files to modify them and don't check them in before going on to the next file, you can quickly lose track of just which files you have checked out. This is particularly important to other users when changes made to one file depend on changes to another file and only one of the files is checked in when the other users get the latest revision.

Obviously, Version Manager will display the locked files if you view the folder containing these files but, if the project has multiple folders, it can be tedious to locate and check-in individual files.

To help with remembering which files you and others have checked out, you can use the Locked Files view. This view lists, by user, all files that are currently checked out. This gives you a convenient method of checking in all your locked files.

To check in all or some of the files you have checked out, select your username from the displayed list, select the files you want to check in, and select Actions / Checkin... from the main menu.

You can also use this view to check which files other users have currently got checked out.
