Performing File Actions

When you check out a document from the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, you lock the document, and it cannot be edited by other people until you check it back into the 3DEXPERIENCE platform or cancel the check out. If you check out a document, it indicates that you intend to modify a file in the document.

If the document is a versioned document, Process Composer for Dashboard increments the version number when you check it back into the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. If the document is a nonversioned document, Process Composer for Dashboard overwrites the original file when you check it back into the database.

You can download a document and create a local copy of the document. Other people can continue to check out or download the document from the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. If you download a document, it indicates that you intend to only review or read a file in the document but do not plan to check in any changes.

You can lock documents to prevent them from being modified by other users.

You can view the content of a document using the application that your browser associates with the type of file in the document.
