Checking out a RuleDoc ensures that others cannot make changes to the document while you are editing it. Other users will not see your changes until you check the file back in.
When you check out a document, other users cannot edit the document or see your changes. If you later decide to check in the document without saving your changes, you lose any changes made while you checked out the document. The document reverts to the last checked-in version, and no version history is kept for the unsaved changes.
| Note |
| Do not leave RuleDocs checked out once you finish working on them, as a checked-out RuleDoc cannot be synchronized with Rule Studio for .NET.

To check out a RuleDoc
-
Locate the RuleDoc or Decision Table in the rule document library on ILOG Rule Team Server for SharePoint.
-
Point to the file name, click the arrow that appears, then click Check Out. If the Check Out command is not available, the file may already be checked out to you or someone else.
-
Once your RuleDoc is checked out, you can safely perform edits on it.
