Check in a Document

After you check a document out and make changes to it, or after you create a document from a template, you must check the document in to the DMS. This ensures that people have access to the latest version of a document.

To check in a document:

1. On the header bar, click Information Zone.
2. Click the Local File Management tab.
3. Click for the document that you want to check in.
4. In the file explorer window, navigate to and select the file that you want to check in.
   This step does not apply if you are using Internet Explorer, as the file is automatically selected.
5. On the Publish Document window, modify the document title and version number, if required.
6. Use the following tabs to modify any of the publishing settings, as required:

   Tab	Description
   Publish To	Use this tab to modify the document pools and attributes to publish the document to, if required.
   Template Attributes	Use this tab to modify the document pools and attributes to publish to template to, if required. This tab only displays when you check in a template document.

You can also check in files from the Working Files dashpart in the Personal Zone.
