Opening managed files

To view a managed file, open a copy of the file from a WebDAV server. The File > Workgroup > Open command creates a local copy of the file on your hard drive.

After you have a local copy of a file, you can revert it to the version of the file on the server (for checked out files) or update it with changes from the file on the server (for non-checked out files). Reverting and updating permanently discard all changes you've made to the file.

To open a managed file:

1. Choose File > Workgroup > Open.
2. Select a server, a directory, and the file you want to open.
3. Do one of the following:
• Click Check Out if you want to open and check out at the same time. (See Checking files out and in.)
• Click Open if you want to open a local copy without checking it out.

To revert a checked out file to the version on the server:

1. Open your local copy of the file.
2. Do one of the following:
• Choose File > Workgroup > Revert.
• Choose Revert from the Workgroup pop-up menu at the bottom of the application window (Windows) or document window (Mac OS).

To update a non-checked out file from the version on the server:

1. Open your local copy of the file.
2. Do one of the following:
• Choose File > Workgroup > Update.
• Choose Update from the Workgroup pop-up menu .
