Checking in files and folders

When you're done editing a file and have saved your changes, check the file in to create a new version that will be available to others in the workgroup. If you're adding a new file, GoLive requires that you check the file in, after which it will appear in the site window for other users in the workgroup.

To check in files:

1. To select the files you want to check in, do one of the following:
• In the site window's Files tab, select the files or folders you want to check in to the Workgroup Server, then click the Check In button  in the Workgroup toolbar.
• In the Files tab, select the files or folders you want to check in, and choose Site > Check In.
• In the Files tab, select a file or folder, then choose Check In from the context menu.
• With no files selected in the Files tab, right-mouse click (Windows) or Ctrl-click (Mac OS) in the tab, then select Check in all from the context menu to check in all checked out files.

Note: You can also check in an open document using any of the above methods.

You can view just your checked-out files on the User Activity tab, and check them in from there.

After you choose Check In, the Workgroup File Check In dialog box displays the files or folders you have selected for check in, and allows you to enter check in comments.

2. In the Workgroup File Check In dialog box, use the options as follows:
• If you want to exclude a file or entire folder listed from being checked in, deselect the checkbox next to it.
• If you're not sure whether to check in a file and you first want to compare the current version with the version that was last checked in, select the file in the list and click the Compare to Server button. The Compare Revisions dialog box displays the source code of the current version side-by-side with the source code of the server version of the file and highlights any differences.
• To view the list of files for check-in grouped by folders, select the Show Folder Structure option. This structured view allows you to deselect an entire folder. If you want a flat list omitting folders, deselect this option. This flat view provides a checkbox at the top of the list, which lets you deselect all files.
• If you want to add a check-in comment, type it into the bottom pane of the dialog box. This check-in comment appears next to the respective revision in the Revision List dialog box.
3. Click Check In.

Note: After checking a file back into the Workgroup Server, a local copy of the file remains on your computer. This local copy is locked for read-only access.
