Check in an object

When you are done editing, you must check in the map or topic so that the changes can be saved and other users can make changes.

Other users cannot edit an object while you have it checked-out.

To check in an object:

  1. Find the object you want to check in.
    If you are not already in the Map Editor or Topic Editor, you can use sorting actions on the My Assignments page to help.
  2. Check in the object by doing one of the following:
    • On the My Assignments page, click Check in icon.
    • While in Topic Editor, click Check in.
    • For a topic while in Map View, click Check in icon .

The object is checked in and becomes unlocked. Your changes are saved online to the repository, where others can see and access them.
