What does Check documents in and out mean?

Checking documents in and out is used when a contact or workgroup wants to edit a document.   When the document is checked out, it can still be accessed and read, but only changed by the contact who has checked it out.  Once the editing is complete, the document should be checked back in and will show in Intrepid Backup with the changes made by the editor.  Checking out and in means that only one copy of the document is saved in your folder and makes it easier to keep track of the current version.

How do I check a document in or out?

                                          Check out:

Ensure that you have been added as a contact, given the permissions to the folder and the document and the original owner of the document has checked out the document by clicking on the CHECK OUT button. 

1. Click on the button to go to the HOME menu
2. Click on the link to open the folder titled Files shared for me and, if necessary, any subfolders the document may be stored in
3. Click on the link to the folder and choose whether to open or save the document
4. Make the changes to the document and save it to your computer using the default file name
5. Close the saved document

Check in

1. Go back to the HOME menu in Intrepid Backup and navigate your way back to the location of the original document (refer to step 2 of the Check Out instructions)
2. Click on the CHECK IN button
3. Click on the BROWSE button and locate the amended document
4. Click on the SUBMIT button

The document is now ready for review and to be checked out and edited by another contact.

Can I see the amendments and who made them?

Yes.  If the document has been changed, a link titled Available will appear under the Version column.  Clicking on the link will display a list of the versions, when they were made and who made them.  The versions can be downloaded and viewed or deleted.
