Checking out objects from local storage

When you check out or view an object from the repository it is automatically downloaded to local storage. When done, you check in the data and unlock the object in the repository. A copy of the file remains in local storage with a read-only status. You can later access and check out the object from local storage.

Procedure

  1. From your XML authoring application, select Tridion Docs > Open local storage.
  2. Right-click on the file you want to check out.
    To select and open multiple files, press the Ctrl or Shift key and select the files then right-click on a selected file.
  3. Click Check out.
    The Local storage window closes, and the objects are checked out and displayed in your authoring tool.
