Configure prompt to check in a file on close id222HC040PE8

When the user tries to close a file that is opened in the Editor using the Close button on the file’s tab or the Close option in the Options menu, a dialog appears if the file has unsaved data or an unsaved version. The user is prompted to unlock the file if it is locked.

The following tabs provide instructions to configure prompt to check in a file on close option by default in the Editor based on your Experience Manager Guides setup: Cloud Service or On-Premise.

Cloud Service

Use the instructions given in Configuration overrides to create the configuration file. In the configuration file, provide the following (property) details to configure a prompt to check in a file on close:

table 0-row-3 1-row-3
