Checking out a document from a non-master file cabinet from a
browser
Checking out a document locks it so that other editors cannot modify the
document, and it retrieves a working copy of the document for editing.
Because a document stored in Domino.Doc must be checked out for editing,
choosing to edit a document also checks it out at the same time. You must
also check out a document to submit it for review or approval, move it,
delete it, or edit its profile or security information.
A document can only be checked out from the master file cabinet. If you are
not working in the master file cabinet you can connect to it if the server is
accessible to you, or you can send a check-out request to the master file
cabinet, depending on how the replica was configured. You must edit and
check in the document on the same server from which you checked it out.
Procedure
To check out a document when you are not working in the master file
cabinet, perform the following steps:
1. From the Site Map, expand the appropriate file room, and open the file
cabinet and then the binder that contains the document you want to
check out. Alternatively, find the document you want to check out in
one of the lists on your Home Page.
Note You can search for your document if you don’t know where it is
stored.
2. To check out the document to edit it, open the document profile.
3. Choose Document from the toolbar.
4. Do one of the following:
• Click Check Out Document to check out the document, locking it
from other users.
• Click Edit Document to check out the document and launch the
application associated with it to modify the document now.
If you are just getting started with Domino.Doc and your browser,
you may get a security warning asking “What do you want to do
with this file?” Select “Open it” then deselect “Open OLE server
in-place” in order to open the document for editing. If you do not
want to display the message again, deselect “Always ask before
opening this type of file.”
