Checked-out Files

While a file is checked out, only the person who checked it out can edit, replace, re-version or delete it or change its metadata. Everyone else can still view, download, share and order it. Files are checked out by hand in Picsha DAM, automatically while open in an editor, and when downloaded for editing; uploading the new version checks them back in.
Set how long a check-out lasts in A check-out lasts (hours, 1–168) (default 24) and click Save. Editor sessions hold a file for 30 minutes at a time and renew while the editor is open. The table lists every current check-out with who holds it, how, and until when. Click Release to end a check-out early.
