Access Rights

You must have the Read access right to use this tab.

Remarks

If more than one user has a file checked out, clicking Check Out Status first displays a list of all check outs.  Double-click a particular check out to see details on that check out.  You can also check in a file, or undo the check out of a file.

If the selected file has not been checked out, when you click Check Out Status VSS tells you the file has not been checked out, and does not display the tab options.
