Checking Layers Out and In

This Help topic describes features that are available in XMap
GIS Editor and XMap GIS Enterprise.


Use the Check-out/in subtab to create check-out layers for editing portions of or an
entire source layer. The area that a check-out layer includes is then locked until the

subtab.

• Once a layer has been enabled for check-outs, you can disable it by selecting
