Opening and editing a file

A file will be automatically checked out as it is opened.

• Click Open.
• Choose SharePoint.
• Click on a folder to open it.

If a file is already checked out, you will see the popup below.

• Click OK to open the file anyway.
  
  
• • • • When you save the file, a new PDF will be checked into SharePoint.

Once your file is checked out, the SharePoint tab will appear. You have a few options available.

• Use Check In to send your updated file to SharePoint.

• Enter your comment to describe the changes you’ve made.
• Check the box next to Keep the documents checked out after checking in this version to continue working on your file.

If you chose to check in the file, but not keep the file checked out, the PDF will remain open. You can continue to work on your file and when you save the PDF, it will update the checked-in version and check out the file again.

In the event the file is already checked out when you try to save it, you will see a notification advising you that you are unable to save it. You can use Save As to create a new copy of the file.

Before continuing to edit the file, we recommend making sure it is checked out. The option to check out the file will only be accessible if the file is currently checked in.
