Managing Files

Managing the files is achieved through the available actions below:

Checking out files: allows you to retrieve files from the server where
they are stored, and perform analyses and modifications on them.
When files are checked out, they are “reserved” by the user and
cannot be modified by another user.

Discarding checked out files: If you change your mind about working
on some files and want to free them for other users, you can undo your
check out. Any change done to the files will be lost.

Checking in files: Once you are done working with the files, you must
check them back in the server so that other users can consult them.
Any change done to the files you are checking in is saved into the
database.

Uploading files: You can add new files to the server.

Viewing files: You can get a read-only copy of the files from the server
for consultation purposes.

Exporting files: You can obtain a local copy of a file that is not linked
with the server. This file is writable.

You can perform those actions directly in the browser, or by right-clicking
in the Files tab, then selecting EXFO Connect.
