When clicking this option, a window will be displayed to confirm the document check-out.

If the Collaborative editing -CP feature is enabled and configured, the user can choose the application with which the document will be edited. It can be Google Drive or Webdav.

When a new edit is made, the platform will use the same option that was selected in the first edit, and the editor selection screen will not be displayed again.

A document that has been checked out remains available in the Check out folder, in My documents, as well as in its source folder, identified by a padlock icon.

After confirming the document check-out or selecting Webdav, the browser then tries to open the document and it can be changed in the operating system’s default editor

When the document is editable through the Webdav protocol, it may be changed in the operating system's default editor. For more information, see the technical documentation Use of WebDav with Windows. To edit document content with .doc or .docx file extensions, for example, the platform uses the MS-WORD protocol. This protocol is installed on the user’s machine during the installation of the MS Office suite. To know if it is installed, the user who wants to edit the content should go to the Windows Default Programs screen and check to see if MS WORD is installed and associated to Word. If it is not installed, the user should restore their MS Office or install a newer version (according to requirements). If the protocol is not available, we recommend using Google Drive for editing, as in the Edit document item in Google Drive.

After confirming the document check-out or selecting Google Drive, the browser then tries to access the Google account to open the document. You must take the login steps as instructed by the application.

This form of editing is collaborative because more users can change the document at the same time. You can add another editor for the document. Click Add editor, located on the upper right corner of the window and add the desired users for editing the document. By clicking this option, the added users are displayed in the top bar of the window and receive a notification about the invitation to edit the document in Notification Center. Only users who at least have viewing permission may be invited to edit the document.

The document is automatically and periodically saved by Google Drive. Information about the editing features available in Google Drive may be obtained directly on the application website.

If other users have been invited to edit the document, only the user who started editing can perform the check in, the others can only edit the contents of the document.

Information on how to perform check in can be obtained at Checking in a document

This option only appears when the Collaborative editing feature is active on the platform, being required to have a Google account to use the resource. Pressing this option displays a window in which you must enter the Google account access data. More detailed information on the procedures for document access and editing can be obtained in Edit content collaboratively.
