How to acces in read/write a checked out document ?

Today, I had to explain to a Site Collection Admin how I unlock a file on his SharePoint 2007 site.
The file was checked out by a user that was no more working in his team.

This post resume the steps I explain to the end-user :

1-      Check that the Icon is in "check out"

2-      Two options:
Ø  Check In : make your changes visible to your colleagues, and create a new version (if the versioning option is set)
Ø  Discard Check Out : will discard changes, and the main advantage, is to avoid making new versions of the document when not changes are made into the file.

Complete info can be found on the Microsoft Support Page


That's all folks
