    note tip
    TIP
    Although a user can download a document when it is checked out by another user, we聽recommend that users wait until the document has been checked back in before downloading it. When a document is checked out, it often indicates that work is still being done on the document. Waiting until a document is checked back in to download it ensures the user has the most recent version.
  • Approve a document or apply an approval to the document.

  • Review the document in the proofing viewer
