Part 2: Checking Out and Editing a Document from the Document Library

Now that you have required check-out in your document library, let’s test this feature and edit a document.

Return to your Project Documents document library.
Select the Word document Expense Reporting Procedure by hovering over the document name and clicking the drop-down menu. (Clicking on the link to the document will open the document within SharePoint, rather than providing access to the drop-down menu.)
Select “Edit in Microsoft Word” (Figure 5-12).

Figure 5-12. “Edit in Microsoft Word” option
Click OK. You have now checked out the Word document. Nobody else can edit this document until it is checked back in.
