Checking Out Objects for Editing in Arbortext Editor
To modify objects in a PTC Server, you must first check the objects out of the PTC Server. You can only check out the latest version of an object from the PTC Server.
Objects that are checked out can be viewed by other users. However, other users are not able to see the changes you have made to an object until you check the object in. Changes that are not checked into the PTC Server are only visible in the current Arbortext Editor or Arbortext Publishing Engine session. An object cannot be modified by others, while you have the object checked out.
Follow these steps to check an object out of a PTC Server:
1. Search or browse to locate the object you want to check out.
2. Select that object in the Browser hierarchy.
3. In the Browser, choose > or click the Check Out button.
A confirmation dialog box is displayed. If the selected object has descendant objects, you have the option to check out either the object or the object and its descendents.

You can also check out and edit a document in one operation using either the > menu choice or the Edit button. Using this feature to check out and edit a document might have performance advantages over doing the checkout and edit as separate operations.

4. Click on Yes.
The selected object is checked out to your active workspace.
