n Rule Number 2: All team members must have Design Notes enabled in their site definition (in
order to share Design Notes information).
And, arguably the most important rule:
n Rule Number 3: All team members must use Dreamweaver to transfer files to and from the
remote server.
If the Check In/Check Out system fails and a file is accidentally overwritten, it is invariably because Rule
Number 3 was broken: Someone uploaded or downloaded a file to or from the Web server using a tool
other than Dreamweaver.
Check In/Check Out overview
Before I discuss the Check In/Check Out setup procedure, examine how the process actually works with
two fictional team members, Eric and Bella:
1. Eric gets an email with a note to update the content on the About Our Company page with news
of a merger that has just occurred.
2. Bella receives a similar note??”except Bella is the graphic artist and needs to change the logo to
reflect the new organization.
3. Eric connects to the remote site, selects the about.htm file, and clicks the Check Out button on
Dreamweaver??™s Files panel toolbar. If Eric had clicked Get instead of Check Out, he would have
received a read-only file on his system.
4. Dreamweaver asks Eric if he would like to include dependent files in the transfer.
