Checking In Projects

After you confirm completion of your configuration changes, you need to check the project back into the development server. Here are some guidelines for checking in projects.

• Test objects before you check them in.
• Validate projects using the Validate button in the Check-In dialog box.
• Check in dependent projects at the same time to make sure the configuration on the server remains consistent.
• Keep in mind that the work of other developers may depend on the objects you are configuring. In some cases, this may require you to check in projects before your work is complete because other developers may be dependent on a feature you have added to your project.

For overview information about the development environment, read About the Local Development Environment.
