Joomla Help Screens

Description¶

A component record, an article for example, may be locked by a user who opened it for editing and never finished the editing session. In such cases, other users are not able to edit the record. Performing a Global Check-in releases all such records in selected extension tables.

Common Elements¶

Some aspects of this page are covered in separate Help articles:

• Toolbars.
• List Filters.
• List Column Headers.
• List Pagination.

How to access¶

• Select System → Maintenance Panel → Global Check-in from the Administrator menu.

Tips¶

• Joomla articles are stored in the #__content table (#_ is a table prefix placeholder).
• Make sure no one is busy editing any items before you perform a global check-in. On Global Check-in, all items are checked in, including those currently being edited.
