Tips & Tricks #11: Have control over your files

Tips & Tricks #11: Have control over your files

Hello everyone!
We're back again with Zoho WorkDrive's tip of the week


Teamwork gives great results, but at times, it has to take a backseat. Let's say you are working on a file and you don't want your team members to make any changes to it. You can prevent others from editing your file with the check-in/check-out feature.
 
When you check out a file, your collaborators will not be able to edit the file or see the changes you've made. Once you're ready to start collaborating again, you can check the file back in. 

To check out a file:  

1. Select a file in My Folders or a Team Folder.

2. Click the More actions icon  in the top action bar, then select Check Out from the dropdown.
 
Alternatively, you can right-click the file and select Check Out.



3. The Versions tab of the file will open in a new screen.



4. Click CHECK OUT.
 
To check in a file:  

1. Select a file in My Folders or a Team Folder.
2. Click the More actions icon in the top action bar, then select Check In from the dropdown.
Alternatively, you can right-click the file and select Check In.



3. The Versions tab of the file will open in a new screen.



4. (Optional) Add version notes for future reference.
5. Click Check In to allow your collaborators to view the changes you have made, edit the file, and upload new versions.
