To be able to edit content on an opened publishing destination, you need to check it out first.

When you open a destination as explained in Open one or more destinations, it is not automatically checked-out.

Check-out the destination in Ted4/Fred4

While a destination window is in focus, on the Edit menu, click Check-out, or click the office0265 icon in the toolbar.

To check-in the destination

While a destination window is in focus, on the Edit menu, click Check-in, or click the office0224 icon in the toolbar.

Notes

When a destination is checked out, you can add or remove content and do other operations, while other users cannot check the same destination out, unless you check it in first.

A destination that is not checked-out by you, shows a locked padlock.
