Checking Files In and Out

Using the lightbulb icon, you can check out pages to begin editing content.

  • This system blocks multiple users from checking out the same file, so no one can overwrite someone else's changes by mistake.
  • Applies to all files: pages, documents and images.
  • If a page is locked, contact Web Services to unlock.
  • After publishing a file, it will check itself back in for other users to edit.
