About Object Check Out and Check In

With object check out and check in, you can check out and check in only the objects that you need; that is, you do not have to check out and check in entire projects.

NOTE:  If the Allow Object Locking property is set to TRUE, you cannot check out a project from the server. You must set the Allow Object Locking property to FALSE to check out an entire project from the server.

Checking out and checking in selected objects:

• Allows multiple developers to work on objects within a single project
• Improves check-out and check-in times
• Reduces network traffic
