Check Out an Object

To edit and save changes to an object, check it out. Checking out an object allows you to edit versions of the object while preventing other users from changing it at the same time. You can open and view an object without checking it out, but you cannot edit it.

You can check out one or more objects before you open them.

Follow these steps:

1. In the Library Browser, select one or more objects.
2. Click Check Out.

   You can now double-click the checked-out object to open and edit it.

You can also check out a single object after you open it.

Follow these steps:

1. In the Library Browser, double-click an object.

   The object opens in its editor.

2. From the object editor or the Process Designer, click Check Out.

   You can check out, edit, check in, test the changes, and then check out and continue editing the object.
