8. Bella receives Eric??™s ???I??™m done!??? email and retrieves the file by clicking the Check Out button in
the Files panel toolbar. Now, on Bella??™s machine, the transferred files have a green checkmark and
her name, whereas on Eric??™s screen, the checkmarks are displayed in red.
9. After she??™s finished working on the graphics side of the page, ensuring that Eric??™s new content
wraps properly around her new logo, Bella selects the HTML file and then clicks Check In. By
opting to transfer the dependent files as well, all her new graphics are properly transferred. Again,
the checkmarks are removed, and the local files are set to read-only.
10. The work is completed without anyone stepping on anyone else??™s toes??”or files.

Building Web Sites with a Team 31
Dreamweaver places a small text file with a .lck (lock) extension on both the server and
local site for each checked-out document. The .lck file stores the Check Out name of the
person transferring the files and, if available, his or her email address. These files must not be deleted from
the server because their existence signals to Dreamweaver that a file has been checked out. After the file is
checked back in, the .lck file is deleted from the server.
Enabling Check In/Check Out
Dreamweaver??™s Check In/Check Out system is activated through the Site Definition dialog box.
