Can two users work on different files of the same project?

[TechWriter77]

Sorry if this has been asked already...but can two users work on different files of the same project? How would that work? Would it work something like this?

1. From RoboHelp 7, user A checks out the entire project.
2. User A checks in the files they are not working with.
3. User B checks out the project but can only 'edit' the files that have been checked in by user A.

Is this how the source control works?

That's the basic idea. User A doesn't actually have to check out the whole project, though. RSC will selectively check out only the files that are actually getting changed. Both writers will have a complete copy of the project on their local machines, but the files are read-only until they are literally checked out, which is on an as-needed basis unless the writer explicitly checks them out.
