Troubleshooting

I don’t see a Check In button after checking out a document.

If you do not an option to check in the document, but you still see the option to check out the document the check out process was not completed. When checking out the document, make sure to select Complete Checkout to finish the checkout process.

I can’t see the Check Out button.

If you try to checkout a document but you don’t see the option to check out, you may have clicked the previous version of the document. If there is only one version of the document, make sure to select Revise Existing before trying to check out the document.
