	If you want to change a file you must check it out to so others know that you will 
	 change this file and other workareas cannot touch it.<BR><B>1. Select a workarea</B><BR>Select
	 the workarea in the navigator tree. You should have version privileges for this
	 workarea.<BR><B>2. Select the folder</B><BR>Select the folder or application system
	 the file is located in and click on the folder to show all the files that are in
	 the folder. You should have version privileges on this folder.<BR><B>3. Check out
	 and download the file</B><BR>Click on the check out symbol {checkout.gif, ALT="Check out"} behind
	 the file and you will be asked to give some information why you want to check this
	 file out (Also see <A href="javascript:parent.showHelp(1370)">Check Out Notes</A>).
	 You can also lock the main branch so you will be the first to check in on the main
	 branch. <BR>Together with the check out you can also download the file. It is recommended
	 to always do this, since the copy of the file that you have on your file system
	 may be out of date. You will be asked to save the file or pick an application to
	 open the file.<BR><BR><B>NOTE</B>: Be aware that although you have checked out the
	 file, this does not mean that nobody else can change it or check it in. Persons
	 that have access right to the workarea can check in the file while you have checked
	 it out. It depends a bit on how the workareas are set up if this will be a problem
	 or not. If you think it is a problem you should probably talk with your repository
	 manager to change the set up.<BR> <BR><B>Checking out structured objects</B><BR>You
	 can also check out structured objects. It works more or less the same as a file,
	 except that you can not download the structured object. After you have checked out
	 the structured object, you or someone else in the workarea can change the structured
	 object through the Oracle Designer modeling tools, the Design Editor or the RON.<BR>
