Document Check in & Check Out

The TeamConnect Office Suite add-in incorporates document check-in and check-out in order to prevent files from being edited by more than one user at a time. See Document Management for further information. Note: Local changes will not be automatically reflected in the plug-in. Users must check the document back in for these changes to be stored and reflected in the add-in.

To check out a document, open a document from a Matter folder by double-clicking. Select View and click Edit Document from the drop-down list. Click the now highlighted Check Out icon under the TeamConnect tab.

Note: If the file is already checked out by another TeamConnect user, you will be given a notification.

After editing the document, click Check In under the TeamConnect tab, or click Undo Check Out to return the document to the Matter folder without changes. Users may be prompted or required to enter a comment upon check-in.

Note: Documents that are already checked out by another user will still have the Check Out option in the TeamConnect tab. Clicking Check Out will then display a message stating that the document is checked out and listing the user that has checked out the document.

Check In Settings

Users can change the default settings for how document check-out operates. From the TeamConnect add-in window, select the Settings button and then Options to choose between the three available options detailed below.

	Option	Details
	Always Prompt for Check Out	Users are prompted to confirm any document check-out.
	Always Check Out When Available	Opening a file that is available for check-out will automatically check out the document without any prompts or confirmation.
	Always Open in Default Mode	Files will be opened in read-only mode unless they are already checked out.

Search Filtering

Outlook and Office users are able to utilize a search filter in the add-in to optimize access to their matter folders and documents. This feature can be disabled or configured from the respective TeamConnect account for the Office account as detailed in TeamConnect-side Configuration.

Important: If the Setting up Search steps are not completed, existing files from before the upgrade will not be returned in the search.
