Checking out a module for editing: long-term checkout/checkin
This task explains how to check out a module (long-term) for editing in your XML editor.
Before you begin
- Contenta editor extension for the Arbortext Editor must be installed.
- If using Arbortext Editor, the Contenta S1000D Arbortext Editor plug-in must be installed.
- In the top banner of your desktop, click Preferences to specify a path to your checkout directory.
Contenta Web clients only: Contenta Web clients that have an Arbortext or Oxygen editor installed support both long-term and short-term editing cycles. Only long-term checkout is available when an editor is not installed on the Contenta Web client.
About this task
With a long-term check out, the module is exported to the checkout directory, where you can edit it in your XML editor in one or more edit sessions. After you have finished editing the module, you select the original object in Contenta S1000D, and then check it back in.
