Development in a team of coworkers can be difficult, as collisions can occur if two people edit the same object at the same time and unintentionally overwrite each other's work. That's why developers can lock objects for editing (check out) and unlock it (check in) after finishing the edits. When an object is checked out, other developers cannot modify it.
Locking is available for various types of objects with modifiable code, such as CSS stylesheets or web part containers.
The following table lists the objects types that support object locking and storage/editing on the server's disk instead of the system's database (except for E-mail templates which you cannot store on the disk).
The Editing interface column shows the locations within the Kentico administration interface where you can edit objects of the given type. If object locking is enabled, the Check out button (or Undo checkout and Check in buttons when the object is checked out) appear above the code editing area.
