user’s workspace can check out or check in portions of a layer or an entire layer. Checkout
regions are determined by user-selected grids. These checkouts are exact copies of the
geometries and attributes from the source layer and can be copied into any database to
which the user has access. Once checked out, the user can edit the layer using the Editor
or Enterprise versions of XMap or simply use it for reference in the field. Once the user is
finished with the layer, they can check it in to the original source layer. All changes made to
the data in the check-out portion are updated in the source layer; this allows XMap users to
modify and update different portions of a single layer at a time.
