To check in an asset displayed in form View:

  1. From the Contributor interface, select the site containing the asset you want to check in.

  2. Navigate to the Checkouts widget on your dashboard (located in the Home tab), and click the asset's name.

    A tab opens displaying the asset's Inspect view in either Form View or Web View.

  3. If the asset opens in Web View, click the Mode switch in the asset's toolbar to switch to Form View.

  4. In the asset's toolbar, click the Checkin icon.

    The tab displays the Assets to be checked in table, which contains the asset's revision tracking details.

  5. Ensure the row containing the asset is selected, then click the Checkin button.

  6. In the Comment field, enter comments or instructions that pertain to the version you are checking in. The comments you enter here are displayed in the asset's revision history. If you are checking in multiple assets, the comment you enter applies to all assets you are checking in.

  7. To create a new version of the asset and then continue working on the new version, select the Keep Checked Out box.

How do I check in an asset displayed in Web View?

When you check in an asset while it is displayed in Web View, you also see revision tracking details for all of its associated assets.

    The tab displays the Asset to be checked in table which contains revision tracking details about the primary asset (asset you opened in Web View) and all of its associated assets (assets displayed in the primary asset's web page view).

    The revision tracking action (if any) you can perform on an asset is indicated in the Action column of the asset's row.

    Note:

    If the asset is not revision tracked, then the Action column for that asset's row is empty and the Detail column for that asset's row displays the message Not Tracked.

  5. In the revision tracking detail table, select (Ctrl+click) the assets you want to check in and then click the Checkin button. You can also check assets in one at a time by clicking the Checkin link in the Action column of the asset's row.
