When working as a team on a large design, users
need to access each other's documents. When a team member checks out a
document, other team members who need to reference it will use an earlier
revision by copying it to their private work areas.
When a checked out model is checked in (or released), other team members who might be referencing an older revision of it, can get the latest copy. You can update your local copies to the latest available when performing a lifecycle operation as well as directly from within the CATIA session. The definition of the last public revision influences the user experience relating to loading the most recently available revisions of sub-components.
