Working with Version Control: Check Out and Check In

In version control, the system identifies projects that are available for checkout with the modified blue folder icon, as with Project A in screenshot below.

Check-Out Process

To check out a project, click the project in the projects folder and click Check Out Revision. The system verifies your access rights and confirms the project is now checked out with an on-screen message. If there is an error, see this article for troubleshooting help.

Once you have checked out a project you are free to make any changes to project details, including the folder location of the project,  logicnets, and resources as required. During this time:

• The project remains checked out to you, even if you log out of the system.
• Other users with access to the project are not able to modify the project:
  • If another user tries to check out the project, the system displays a popup message saying the project is already checked out to another user.
  • The user is able to view and test the project in its prior state. None of the changes you made are visible to others until you check them in.

Check-In Process

When you have finished making changes, you can check in the changes or discard them by choosing one of the following options:

• Discard Revision - No changes are saved. The system discards the project changelog and it cannot be retrieved at a later point.
• Check In Revision - Choosing this option opens a popup where you can add a status and revision notes.

  

  Once you have checked in or discarded the changes, the project is available for other authorized users to check out.
