Version Control

Checking out a document locks the file and makes it read only. Other users can view the file, but they cannot change it.

•	Canceling check-out

•	Opening/checking-out a document from Office

Checked-out documents must be checked back in to KnowledgeTree before other users can check it out for editing.

The cancel check out function reverses the check-out action, restoring the document to the state it was in before it was checked out. The system administrator is allowed to force check in a document. This is useful if a document is required urgently, and the user who checked out the document is unavailable to check it in.

New documents are given version number 0.1.

Minor updates are incremented by 0.1 on check in (e.g. from 0.7 to .0.8); major updates are incremented by 1.0 (e.g. 1.x becomes 2.0). Edits are defined as 'major' or 'minor' on check in.

The Version History link in the Document info menu displays a history of version changes on a currently selected document.
