Checking out a document <strong>from</strong> a non-master file cabinet <strong>from</strong> a<br />

browser<br />

Checking out a document locks it so that other editors cannot modify the<br />

document, and it retrieves a working copy of the document for editing.<br />

Because a document stored in <strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong> must be checked out for editing,<br />

choosing to edit a document also checks it out at the same time. You must<br />

also check out a document to submit it for review or approval, move it,<br />

delete it, or edit its profile or security information.<br />

A document can only be checked out <strong>from</strong> the master file cabinet. If you are<br />

not working in the master file cabinet you can connect to it if the server is<br />

accessible to you, or you can send a check-out request to the master file<br />

cabinet, depending on how the replica was configured. You must edit and<br />

check in the document on the same server <strong>from</strong> which you checked it out.<br />

Procedure<br />

To check out a document when you are not working in the master file<br />

cabinet, perform the following steps:<br />

1. From the Site Map, expand the appropriate file room, and open the file<br />

cabinet and then the binder that contains the document you want to<br />

check out.<br />

Note You can search for your document if you don’t know where it is<br />

stored.<br />

2. Alternatively, find the document you want to check out in one of the<br />

lists on your Home Page.<br />

3. To check out the document to edit it, open the document profile by<br />

clicking the Info icon.<br />

4. Choose <strong>Doc</strong>ument <strong>from</strong> the toolbar.<br />

5. Do one of the following:<br />

• Click Check Out to check out the document, locking it <strong>from</strong> other<br />

users.<br />

• Click Edit <strong>Doc</strong>ument to check out the document and launch the<br />

application associated <strong>with</strong> it to modify the document now.<br />

If you are just getting started <strong>with</strong> <strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong> and your browser,<br />

you may get a security warning dialog asking “What do you want to<br />

do <strong>with</strong> this file?” Select “Open it” then deselect “Open OLE server<br />

in-place” in order to open the document for editing. If you do not<br />

want to display the message again, deselect “Always ask before<br />

opening this type of file.”

Hooray! Your file is uploaded and ready to be published.
