Checking out XML objects that are in read-only mode

Objects in read only mode cannot be modified in your authoring tool. You must check out the object to modify it.

Before you begin

  • You must have permission to edit and store objects in the Content Manager repository.

Procedure

  1. With the object opened in read-only mode in your authoring tool, select SDL Knowledge Center > Check Out....
  2. Click the radio button next to Check out current object in the resulting dialog then click OK.
    The object is now in edit mode and can be modified. It is stored in your local storage and locked in the repository to prevent other users from modifying it.
