One of SharePoint's features is the ability to "check out" a file in order to prevent other people from editing a document simultaneously. This can be useful, but can also cause problems if someone forgets to check the document back in.


Info
titleVersioning

Note that when checking in, there are two options:

  • Minor version (1.x) - an incremental draft update to a document
  • Major version (x.0) - a whole number with .0 suffix which is considered the latest published version

User permission affect whether a published or drafted version will appear current, so for a final version of an item, make sure to use a Major version check-in!
