About checking out a binder<br />

The <strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong> check-in and check-out features help ensure the integrity<br />

of <strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong> binders.<br />

You must check out a binder to modify its profile, or if you want to delete it<br />

from a non-master file cabinet. You must be an authorized editor to check<br />

out and modify a binder. You can check out binders only from the Notes<br />

client or from a browser.<br />

When you request a binder check-out, several things happen depending on<br />

how your System Administrator configured file cabinet replication, and<br />

whether or not you are working in the master file cabinet.<br />

If you are working in the master file cabinet, or if you can connect to it to<br />

do the check out, you can check out the binder immediately. This locks the<br />

binder so that other editors cannot modify it, and it creates a working copy<br />

of the binder for editing.<br />

If you are working in the file cabinet replica:<br />

• Check-outs may not be allowed. You’ll be able to open the binder for<br />

viewing, but you won’t be able to check it out for editing.<br />

• You may be prompted for how you want to proceed. You’ll be able to<br />

send a check-out request to the master file cabinet, or connect to the file<br />

cabinet and check out the binder immediately.<br />

• You may have the option of sending a check-out request to the master<br />

file cabinet. This gives you a provisional lock on the binder, and a<br />

working copy for editing.<br />

When your check-out request arrives at the master file cabinet, one of<br />

three things will happen:<br />

• If the binder is not currently checked out, and it has not been<br />

modified by someone else since you obtained the provisional lock,<br />

the binder is checked out to you (locked) and you can continue to<br />

make changes, or you can check it back in.<br />

• If the binder is currently checked out to someone else, or if it has<br />

been deleted, your check-out request is rejected. You can cancel the<br />

request and discard your changes, or you can retry the request,<br />

maintaining your changes and keeping the binder provisionally<br />

locked.<br />
