 +===== File functions =====
 +Numerous file-specific functions are available in the context menu of the structure.
 +
 +**Check out: Lock file**\\ 
 +Before a file can be edited, it must be retrieved from the server and locked for editing. If a file has been locked, all other users only have read-only access to the file. For the locking user, the file is displayed with a green circle as symbol, the other users see a red circle as symbol. If there is no lock, the file icon is displayed.
 +
 +**Check in: Release file**\\ 
 +Once the processing of a file has been completed, it must be released again. The file is transfered to the server and a new version of the file is created.
 +
 +**Undo checkout**\\ 
 +If the file was incorrectly locked for editing, it can be released again without transfer it to the server. All changes made are lost during this process.
 +
 +**Retrieve version**\\ 
 +Several versions of a file are stored on the file server. You can return to any old version using the "Retrieve version" function.

 +Files and folders can be exported from the MeXX using the "Export" function. Non-existent files are automatically retrieved from the server.
