Site Management and Collaboration 131
Using Check In/Check Out
When working in a collaborative environment, you can check files in and out
from local and remote servers and use Design Notes to add comments and notes
for your team. Checking out a file is the equivalent of declaring “I’m working on
this file now—don’t touch it!” When a file is checked out, Dreamweaver displays a
check mark next to the file’s icon in the Site window. A green check mark indicates
that the file was checked out by you, and a red check mark indicates that the file
was checked out by another team member. The name of the person who checked
out the file is also displayed in the Site window.
Checking in a file makes the file available to other team members to check out and
edit. The local version becomes read-only to prevent you from making changes to
the file while someone else has it checked out.
Dreamweaver does not make checked-out files read-only on the remote server.
If you transfer files with an application other than Dreamweaver, you can
overwrite checked-out files. However, in applications other than Dreamweaver,
the .LCK file is visible next to the checked-out file in the file hierarchy to help
prevent such accidents.
You can enable Check In/Check Out for some sites and disable it for others. For
information about transferring files between local and remote sites without
checking them in or out, see “Getting files from a remote server” on page 143 and
“Putting files onto a remote server” on page 144.
