Checking Out Files

In the Project menu tree, choose one of the following:

To check out an individual file, right-click the file that is currently checked in (indicated by a blue padlock icon) that you want to check out.
Right-click the Scripts, Data Files, or Include Files nodes to select all files of those types for check out.
To check out an entire project, right-click the project node.

Select Check Out from the context menu. The Check Out dialog opens, showing the local path to where the file or project will be copied.

Note: If a single checked-in file is selected for check out, then only that file will be listed on the Check Out dialog. If no file or a checked-out file is selected for check out, then all currently checked-in files of the project will be listed on the Check Out dialog.

If required, deselect individual files that you do not want to check out.

Click the Check Out button to check out the files or project. The status icon of the files now appear as a red checkmark, indicating that the source control version of the files or project are available and writable.
