Field Editing Projects on Another PC
The “field editing function” can be used to ensure that projects move smoothly when, for example, checking out projects edited on a desktop
PC and editing them in a limited manner on a laptop PC. When a project that has been checked out by field editing is opened, a message is
displayed to prevent duplicate editing of the project.
Checking Out Projects (Check-out)

source files, proxy files for limited editing also can be checked out.
1)
Click [File] on the menu bar, and click [Field Editing] → [Check out].
