Check In
Adds a file to the vault for the first time or checks in a file that you have checked out.
Vault Server Check In options
Keep files checked out
Keeps the files checked out after you check them into the vault. You can check in your changes so that others can get your latest changes, and continue to work on the files.
Close files and delete working copies
Deletes the local copy of the file once it is checked in to the vault. If there are restrictions on a file that prevent it from being deleted, you are notified that the file cannot be deleted. Deleting working copies ensures no version conflicts later, but requires a new download when you check the file out again, even if no changes were made to it. If this option is selected when checking in a host file, all of the children will be deleted as well.Note: Do not turn on Close files and delete working copies when checking in files if you are using a shared working folder. Deleting the working copy from a shared working folder may delete files accessed by other users.
Create visualization attachment
Select this option to create an image (.dwf) of the project as it is being saved. This file is used by the Vault Client for previewing files. Attachments are only created for files that have changed or for files that do not have .dwf files published already.
Enter comments to include with this version
Text entered here is added to the Comment property and associated with this version of the file in the vault.
Check files into a Vault
Open the file you want to check into the vault.
Choose File > Vault Server > Check In.
If you have not saved the file prior to attempting check in, you are prompted to save and continue.
If the file you are checking in is not under the cone of the working folder, the Select Vault Location dialog box appears. Select a vault folder in which to check the files and click OK.
In the Check In dialog box, specify:
- if you want to keep the file checked out for further editing
- whether or not to delete the local copy of the file once it is checked in to the vault
- whether or not to create and attach a preview image of the file
Enter any notes in the comment box.
Click OK to complete the check-in and to close the dialog box or click Cancel to cancel the check into the vault operation and close the dialog box.
If the file you are checking in is under the cone of the working folder, but an equivalent folder does not exist in the vault, the folder is created automatically when the file is checked in.
You can release your reservation on a file in the vault by using the Undo Check Out command.
