Question

Is checking in the same as saving?

If I check in the text boxes once I have done some editing, will that save the file? I'm working on InCopy files from a server. I open them up, check out the text boxes, do some editing and then check them back in. Should I save as well? I don't want to create an extra file, just update the one that's on the server. When I do what I've been doing, I notice that the date and time does not change when I close the file. Have my changes been saved? Thank you all so much!

      Checking a file in should save the content at the same time. Are you seeing issues where it isn't?

      Quite possibly! What was worrying me was the fact the date and time didn't change on the file. But if you say that checking in all text boxes saves the work I've done, then all is well. Thanks for taking the timet to set my mind at rest!

      Why not just open the file and check (no pun intended)? Also, make sure you're showing the modified date, not the creation date.
