To avoid version confusion and duplication, controlling document editing is key. A check in/out tool within the Claromentis Document Manager application ensures that only one user with edit permission can work on a document at any one time.
The check in/out tool clearly indicates which user has the documents ‘checked-out’. It also locks the document to prevent other users gaining edit-access until the first user has finished.

Once the document has been ‘checked-in’ again, notifications can be sent to a select list of users informing them of the changes and indicating that the document is now available for editing.
