Checking Out Assets and Folders

.

Checking out an asset or asset folder assigns it to you, allowing you to modify its content or rename it. Only items checked out to you can be edited or renamed.

To verify an item's checkout status, click its info icon Information Icon in the top-right corner of the Assets pane and review the Checked Out value.

To check out an asset or asset folder:
  1. Navigate to Assets > Asset Tree.
  2. Select the checked-in asset or asset folder, then click Check OutCheck Out Button in the toolbar menu.
    Note
    To check out a folder and its children simultaneously, right-click the folder and select Check Out > Folder and Children in the Asset Tree context menu.

The CMS checks out and assigns the item to you, and the item's icon color changes from black to blue in the Asset Tree. The Rename button displays in the toolbar, the Edit tab becomes available for assets, and a Checked Out version displays at the top of the asset's History tab list.
