Applies to MindManager used with Mindjet Catalyst.
You can open workspace files (documents that are not maps) in their associated applications for viewing or editing. Workspace files also include MindManager Map Templates (*.mmat files) and MindManager Map Styles (*.mmas files) that you can edit with MindManager.
What do you want to do?
Select the file in the Documents list, then on the Workspaces tab, Documents group, click Open.
Right-click the file name in the Documents list, then click Open.
Double-click the file name in the Documents list, then click Open.
Select the file in the Documents list, then press Enter.
The document opens in its native application in read-only mode.
To open the file for editing you must check it out: A local copy of the file is created, and this is the file that is modified. When you are finished editing, you can choose to check it in (save the local copy back to the workspace) or destroy the checkout (discard your changes).
You cannot check out a file if:
it is locked
by another member (shown with the 
icon in the Documents list).
it is checked out by another member
(shown with the 
icon
in the Documents list).
you have only Reader access to the workspace.
your account has been suspended.
During editing the file is locked for other workspace members (they can view but not edit it), and remains locked when you return to MindManager until you check it in or discard the checkout.
Once you have edited the file and check it back in , other users will see the map status for this file change to "Out of date", indicating that their local copy of the file is not current.
Check out the file by doing one of the following:
Select the file in the Documents list, and then on the Workspaces tab, Document Access group, click Check Out.
Right-click on the file name in the Documents list and click Check out.
In the documents list the file
is shown as checked out (
for you,
for other users). Other users can view but not edit the file while it
is checked out.
Open the file by doing one of the following:
Select the file in the Documents list, then on the Workspaces tab, Documents group, click Open.
Right-click the file name in the Documents list, then click Open.
Select the file in the Documents list, then press Enter.
The file opens in its associated application. The application launched depends on your local system's file associations. You can edit the file only if its associated application allows editing.
Edit the file as desired and save it in the application, then close the application.
At this point, the changes
you have made are saved only in the local copy of the file.
In the Documents list the file's Local Copy status changes to Modified
on your system.
Now you should either check in the document (saves the changed local file to the workspace), or discard the checkout (discards changes and leaves the workspace file unchanged).
To check it in do one of the following:
Select the file in the Documents list, and then, on the Workspaces tab, Document Access group, click Check in.
Right-click the file name then click Check In.
You will be asked if you want to save a revision of the current workspace file before checking in the edited version.
In the Documents list the file's Local Copy status changes to Current on your system, and Out of Date on other users' systems.
To discard the checkout do one of the following:
Select the file in the Documents list, and then, on the Workspaces tab, Document Access group, click Discard checkout.
Right-click the file name then click Discard checkout.
If you attempt to check in a file that contains a virus you will be notified, and the file will not be saved to the workspace. Instead a placeholder is added to the Documents list, and you are prompted to destroy the placeholder.
If you want to use one or more revisions do not destroy the placeholder when prompted. Instead, use these steps.
