To check out and edit an asset

To check in an edited asset as a new version
1 Select the asset, then do one of the following:
• Click the Check In button in the Toolbar.
• Control-click the asset, then choose Check In from the shortcut menu.

that appears.
3 Click the Check In button.
When you check in the asset, a version appears in the version list.
Important: You will not see the comment you just added to the version you checked in
because it is the current version and the Versions pane only shows older versions.
You can perform several actions to a specific version of an asset. When you Control-click
a version in the Versions pane, the shortcut menu that appears includes:
• Get Info: Choose this option to view information about the version.
• View: Choose this option to view the version in an appropriate viewer.
• New Asset from Version: Choose this option to create a new asset from the version or
to copy the selected version of an asset to another device.
• Revert to this Version: Choose this option to delete the assets that were created after
the selected version. When you revert to a previous version, the current version is
replaced with the selected version.
