Checking Out Objects from the Workspace
Use the Check Out action to add objects from Windchill to your workspace for modification. Generally, a working copy of the file is transferred to your local disk, and a lock is placed on the object in the database to prevent simultaneous modification in another workspace.
Refer to the section, Comparison of Download, Link, and Reuse, for an explanation of how content can be handled during a checkout.
A direct checkout (no user interface involved, only initially selected objects checked out) occurs when checkout is initiated from the following places.
Workspace toolbar checkout icon
Workspace row level action
Edit Attributes from the workspace
Check out row level actions
Right-mouse-button menu actions
Save As in workspace toolbar
