Checking out a document
You check out a document in one of the following modes:
exclusive or collaborative. In collaborative mode, anyone with the
appropriate permissions can check in the document or cancel the checkout.
Checking in or saving a document
Check in a document to add another version of the document
to the object store. The new version is added as either a major version
or as a minor version. You can add content elements to the document
as part of the checkin.
Filing a document
You can file one or more documents in multiple folders.
The item is not duplicated in each folder, but instead, each folder
contains a reference to the same item. The document can be edited
from any of the locations.
Unfiling a document
A document can be filed in one or more folders. Unfiling
a document from a folder removes the reference to the document from
that folder. The document itself is not deleted.
Demoting a document version
Demoting the major released version of a document converts
it into the current in process minor version, and sets the most recent
superseded major version, if one exists, as the released major version.
Freezing the custom properties of a version
Freezing the custom properties of a version prevents changes
to its otherwise modifiable custom properties. The system-maintained
properties of a frozen document version are updated by the system
as necessary.
Deleting a document version
You can delete one or more versions of a document. If the
deleted version is the reservation (that is, the checked-out version),
deleting the reservation version is the same as canceling the check-out.
Deleting a document
You can delete a document along with all its versions and
all references to it.
Managing document content elements
A content element is a file or a file reference that can
be associated to a document object. Content elements can be added,
removed, or changed while the document is checked out. That is, the
version state is Reservation. When the document is checked in, the
content element files become the content of the new document version.
