It is possible to check out entire folders from ELO. This allows multiple documents to be locked at once.

Please note: If you check out a folder with all the references, you cannot check in the individual references separately. Instead, you need to check in the entire folder. In addition, you cannot check in the original documents that are linked to the references until you have checked in the entire folder.

In principle, this works the same as when checking out documents (see above). The folder is saved in a checkout directory. The individual documents can be opened and edited from there.

Information: Child folders are not checked out

The entire folder appears as checked out in the In use work area.

ELO recognizes during check in which documents were changed. With the standard settings, the Version information dialog box appears for every changed document.
