incremented and the latest changes are now available for others to check out.
Only one person can have a file checked out at one time. If you want to make
a file currently checked out to you available to others without recording your
changes, you can Undo Check Out. If no changes were made to a file that
is checked back into the vault, the version history is not incremented. Use
Autodesk Vault to see who has a file checked out. This information can be
obtained from the User Name column.
