Checkin/Check-out Control

Zoho Docs allows you to keep a track of modifications made to files, in a collaborative environment. You can track the versions of the file, who modified it and when. Also, when multiple users have access to documents there are bound to be cases of overwriting and important data can be lost. Zoho Docs prevents overwriting with the check-in/check-out feature that allows only one person to work on the document at one time.

Document Version Control

Zoho Docs, version control lets you keep a track of file modifications. You can manage your document review process by creating and maintaining multiple versions of a document. Files are saved as they are edited, and also you can revert the file back to the previous version without any new changes that has been made to the document. With the version control you can find the changes that have been made in the file.

In Zoho Docs - Online Document Management, you can Check-in/Check-out the document, which helps the team in a collaborative environment to manage the files. It allows only one person to work on a file at a time, to prevent team members from overwriting each other's changes.

Check-In/Check-Out Control

Check-Out a Document:

Check-Out a file allows user to edit the file. It creates a lock on the file, which prevents other users from overwriting each others changes. To edit the document, you can check-out the document and save it locally in your desktop. Once you finished working on a file, you can check-in to once again make it available to other users. Users in the workspace will be able to see the very last version of the file that has been checked-in.

Check-In a Document:

Check-In a file removes the lock on the file. After editing the file, you can upload the latest version of the file. When a file is checked in, it is available for other users in the Workspace to check-out and edit.
