Checking In Doclets and Supplemental Doclets

This topic applies to doclets and Word- or PowerPoint-based supplemental doclets.

After you have finished modifying a doclet or Word- or PowerPoint-based supplemental doclet, you must check it back in so that other users can view your changes.

Note:

Before you check in a doclet or supplemental doclet, you must first upload it. See Working with Doclets and Supplemental Doclets Locally and Uploading and Working with Page Attributes and Slide Masters.

  To check in a doclet or supplemental doclet:

  1. If not already open, in the Smart View Panel, navigate to the doclet or supplemental doclet and double-click it to open it.

  2. From the Performance Reporting ribbon, click Check In.

    The Check In button from Performance Reporting ribbon

    In the Smart View Panel, the lock icon is removed from the doclet or supplemental in the doclet responsibilities list, indicating that it is no longer checked out.

    Note:

    After you have checked out and downloaded a doclet or supplemental doclet to work with locally, you must upload the new version before you can check the doclet back in. If you want to discard the changes that you made and revert back to the original version of the doclet, click Cancel Checkout instead (see Undoing Checkouts).
