Checking In Files

You check in files after adding the files to the vault or after editing to make them available to users with appropriate rights. Until you check in a file, changes are saved in your local version only.

Note: The new version of each checked in file is associated with the current versions of its references. When this file version is accessed, all reference versions are retrieved as if they were attached.

Note: Your administrator may have configured SolidWorks preferences to save derived PDF files when files are checked in. In this case, check in the files from SolidWorks. Checking in from outside SolidWorks does not save derived PDFs.
