Clear checked-out file status

You may check out files intending to make changes, then for some reason do not. Or, you may decide not to upload changed versions. Whatever the case, there are times when you will want to just tell Worldox to disregard the checked-out status of a file. To do that:

1. Find the checked-out file.

1. You may know where that file is located. If so, open that list and look for the file (which will have a green checkmark indicating you have checked it out.)

2. Another way is to click Favorite Files in the toolbar or choose Selected Favorites from the List pull-down menu. That opens the List > Selected Favorites dialog. Double click the Checked Out category, or check that box and click Select in the dialog toolbar. That opens a worklist with all files you have checked out. The file you want will be on that list.

3. Finally, Worldox alerts you to files available for check-in on start-up, in a notification prompt over the Windows taskbar. Just click on that message to open a list of checked-out files.

2. Select the document you want to clear, then click Check In on the toolbar. Or, select Check-In from the File pull-down menu.

Note:  You can check out multiple files at once. If you select more than one, Worldox asks you to confirm your selection, in the Clarify Selection dialog. If you see this dialog, choose the appropriate option and click Continue.

3. In the File > Check-In dialog, select the Discard local mirror copy and revert to original choice.

4. Click OK to go ahead and check out file(s). Then click OK to acknowledge the confirmation message.
