Applies to:
Vault, Inventor
Issue:
Users unintentionally check out files and check them in creating an unnecessary new version in the Vault.
Causes:
This creates unnecessary checkouts, adds risk of unintended file edits and increases unintentional versions in the Vault.
Solution:
Instruct users to disable Open prompt option in the Vault and Inventor plug-in settings. Disabling this feature ensures files are only checked out when the user intends to modify it, rather than automatically checking out upon opening. Modifying the prompt will help prevent unnecessary checkouts, reducing unintended file edits and improve version control in the Vault.
