Term Check-In / Check-Out

During Check-In, changes that you have saved as a new Version are copied to the versiondog server. Before the Check-In, it is checked whether the working directory is identical to the last version. A Check-In is not possible if the version on the server is newer than the local version.

A Check-In is not possible if the version on the server is newer than the local version.

During Check-Out, the current version(s) of a component (for example, an S7 project) is copied from the server archive to the client archive (working directory) on the local PC.

• Complete components are always checked out. Parts of a component cannot be checked out. Several/all components can be checked out during a Check-Out.
• Components can only be checked out if there is a connection to the server.

The Check-In/Check-Out process is performed simultaneously with the versioning process. Multiple components can be selected via a dialog and then checked out/checked in. However, this is only ever done as a whole; individual project modules or individual files for a Check-In, for example, cannot be selected.
