  16                 Mambo changes its status to, &quot;Checked Out&quot;. In effect,
  17                 the file is locked and only the User who has &quot;checked it
  18                 out&quot; has permission to work with it. This is a security feature
  19                 that prevents two Users from editing a document at the same time,
  20                 thus preventing loss of data upon saving.A Content Item remains &#39;Checked
  21                 Out&#39; until the User clicks &#39;Save&#39; or &#39;Cancel&#39; while
  22                 editing the Content Item, at which time the Content Item is &quot;Checked
  23                 In&quot;. However, if there&#39;s a connection error, the user
  24                 presses the &#39;Back&#39; icon in his/her browser, or the User
  25                 chooses another Menu Item without saving or canceling the work
  26                 in progress, the Content Item remains &#39;Checked Out&#39;. This
  27                 means no one can edit it. This is usually reported or experienced
  28                 as Users being unable to edit or access items, and can be verified
  29                 by looking&nbsp;at the column labeled &quot;Checked Out&quot; in
  30                 the Section, Category, or Item file list .Mambo has a protocol,
  31                 called &quot;Global Checkin&quot; that allows an administrator
  32                 to unlock all Content Items that are currently &quot;Checked Out&quot;.To
  33                 perform the &quot;Global Check In&quot;, select System &gt; Global
  34                 Check In from the Administrator Menubar.&nbsp; After performing
  35                 the &quot;Global Check In&quot;, Mambo returns a list showing
  36                 how many items, and from which tables, were Checked back in.<strong><font color="#CC0000">WARNING:</font></strong><font color="#CC0000"> Be
  37                 very careful in doing this as anyone who is editing a document
  38            at that very moment can have his or her work lost.</font></td>
