About this task
Use the check out tool that is appropriate for your editor to export an object's data for modifications and to place a long term lock on the object in the database. You can maintain a lock on a long-term basis and modify the data outside the database. The lock ensures that no one else can edit the data while you are editing it outside the database.
Procedure
What to do next
Use the appropriate check in tool to import the modified document and remove the lock.
