Check out a file so no one else can edit it while you’re working on it

by | Jul 18, 2026 | Document Libraries, Wiki | 0 comments

Select the file in the library → three dots → Check out. A green arrow icon appears and only you can edit it until you select Check in (to save your changes) or Discard check out (to undo them). Useful for long documents where you don’t want mid-edit changes from colleagues.
