Check In/Check Out vs. Put/Get

I'm using Check In/Check Out with a collaborative group on a huge project. If I understand correctly, we should NOT use Put/Get functions if we want to not write-over each others' stuff. Also, <F12> is the Put function as well as the way to view files you are updating. Thus, I need help to know the best method how to view files that are being edited on the local and running with both a global css and with server-side includes in the page. Do I need to Check In each page to the server before I can fully view it in the browser? Also, does each member of the team need to have a copy of the css on their local?

Server side applications

Correct answer Newsgroup_User

Each member of the team must check out files they want to work on. They can
then preview all they want. This will not tread on anyone else's changes
since the file, being checked out, cannot be edited by anyone else.

Ah-ha! I actually meant "Check In" before they view, but now I understand. <F12> isn't "putting" them anywhere except in the browser temporarily for viewing! Wow, took me a while...

Thanks for being patient

I feel like I can finally sort it out now. Tommorrow, I get to explain it to everyone else. Thanks again. Later.

i'm back to my original question then. i have a local root folder (with a copy of the stylesheet and includes now) and i have a remote server and testing server that are the same. How does Check In/Out work when i press <F12> and PUT the files to the testing server to view them? Does each member of the team need to Check Out the files they are working on before they can view them?

Correct. Religiously. Under penalty of death.

No, F12 is the Preview function. It will, however, also PUT the file to the
server if you are also using the production directory there as your testing
server. This is bad BAD bad.

Yes. And they would need a copy of all include files too.

"if you are also using the production directory there as your testing server..." What does this mean? I thought that the remote server and the testing server were supposed to be the same thing? Also, how do I make global changes to the CSS if everyone else has a version of it on their local? And, thanks for the clarification on <F12>.
