Once the file is open the CAD software, you can make any updates to the design.
00:09
In this case, we added a hole and changed the color of the part to green, as shown on the right.
00:15
Notice in the Vault browser how the status icon shows as a white circle with a checkmark.
00:21
This identifies the file is checked out to you.
00:24
In the right-hand image, the file name has an asterisk appended to the end.
00:29
This identifies to you that a save is required.
00:34
Once the file has been saved, the status icon will turn green, indicating that your local file is newer than the version in Vault,
00:42
which reminds you that you should be checking in the file.
00:45
Additionally, the asterisk at the end of the file name changes to a plus (+) sign, to help you identify that the file was modified.
00:54
In the previous topic, when we discussed creating files using Copy Design, as well as creating them from scratch,
01:01
the final step was checking in the files to Vault so that other users could access them.
01:07
In the case of updating design files, the final check in is done in the same way.
01:12
In review, there are three main steps:
01:15
First, you initiate the Check In command from within the authoring program by selecting Check In, as shown here.
01:22
Next, you can review and select settings for inclusion of the children, parents, and related files,
01:30
as well as the visualization attachment options.
01:33
Select the Keep files checked out check box (if required),
01:37
and the Close files and delete working copies option (if available and required).
01:42
You can add descriptions, and in this case, you can see that the final image will be created.
01:49
Lastly, click OK to check in the file.
01:53
This last image is how the status icon changes for the file, now that it's checked back in to Vault.
02:00
The white circle no longer has a checkmark indicating it isn't checked out,
02:05
and the white circle alone indicates the local version of the file is the same as the version on the Vault.
02:12
You can also hover over the icons at any time to view a tooltip.
02:17
As you can see in this image, the file is available for check out by anyone with access to the Vault.
