Know how to use check-in comments

When you're working in the Oxygen-based editor, if you use Save and Submit to upload your changes to the Inspire database, you may be prompted to enter a check-in comment before the editor closes.

To save your changes, do one of the following:

• Save. Keep a copy your changes locally and keep the editor open.
• Save and Submit. and close the Oxygen editor.

If you select Save and Submit and an administrator turns on an optional feature, you are prompted to enter a comment.

The comment is optional and can be left blank.

• If no comment is entered and the user selects Save or Cancel, only the changes to the component are saved and the Oxygen editor closes.
• If a comment is entered and the user selects Save, both the changes to the component and the comment are saved. The comment can be seen in a Comments column in the following places: Components browser (hidden by default), Component's History record, Changesets tab.

If you can Edit References In Place, and you make changes only to an expanded reference, then your comment will appear only in that edited component's History record.
