All your RoboHelp project files are now copied to the server-based database, and all the files are flagged as checked out
to you. When you close the project, you are prompted to check the files into the database. If you answer Yes, all the
files are checked in.
Note: An additional File Status pod is displayed in the RoboHelp user interface. This pod lists all the project files that are
under version control and the status of each (checked in or out). Further documentation is installed with RoboSource
Control. This help file is accessed from within the RoboSource Control Explorer application.
