Ah, OK. When you're using the Alfresco Share interface (at http://documentation.libreoffice.org therefore), you go to the space containing the document you want to "check out" (edit offline). Hover your mouse over the document and you will see a menu appear to the right of the document name. Click on the "More..." item and a further menu opens. Click on "Edit Offline" and you'll be prompted to download a working copy of the document. Beware! You will have been whisked away from the space you were previously in, and will have been taken to a space called "Documents I'm Editing (working copies)". If you want to return to the space you were previously in, you can use the "Repository" tree structure of folders (spaces) on the left-hand side and get back there in probably one click. To "check in" the working copy you've edited, you would return to the document's space (or your "Documents I'm Editing" space), hover your mouse over the document, and click on "Upload New Version". We'll get this properly documented very, very soon. -- David Nelson -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
