CheckOut Object (Magic xpi 4.1)
The CheckOut Object option enables you to execute check out actions on the flow or business process where you are currently parked. It copies the latest version of the object to your local computer, so that you can make changes to it. You can also access this function by using the relevant context menus in the Navigation Pane.
When you select CheckOut Object from the Source Control menu, the CheckOut dialog box opens. This dialog box lets you enter a comment before you check out the object (if the Version Control provider supports the comment for the CheckOut operation).
The objects that can be checked out are:
You can edit an object only after checking it out. Without checking out the object, you are limited to read-only access. Although the Form Editor will not appear to be read-only, any modifications applied to the form will not be applied if the program is not checked out first.

Note:
|
With some Version Control providers, such as TFS, the Version Control's behavior is Undo Checkout when you get an object from the Version Control history. This means that you must implicitly check out the object in order to work on it. In this scenario, the latest version will not be taken from the server, so you can continue to work on the outdated version.
