Working offline with files that are checked out

If you are working with a Trados GroupShare project and you know in advance that you will work offline, RWS recommends that you first check out the files that you plan to edit so that no other users can modify them on the Trados GroupShare server.

Before you begin

You can only check out files from a Trados GroupShare project if you are member of a Trados GroupShare role that has the Check Out My Project Files or the Check Out Any Project Files permission.

Procedure

  1. Connect to the Trados GroupShare server.
  2. Go to the Files view, right-click the file you want to work, and then select Check out, from the context menu.
  3. When disconnected from the Trados GroupShare server, edit or run batch processes on the file.
  4. When connected to the again to the Trados GroupShare server, go to the Files view, right-click the file and select Check in, from the context menu.
