Hi Jan, if I understand you correctly you say that the proposed text explaining checkin/checkout should mention that it applies to modifying the working copy. I believe that's correct, but would require a forward reference to the term "working copy" that I'd like to avoid. (If you meant to say something else, please clarify). With respect to replacing "Other servers allow modification, in which case the checkout/checkin operation may happen implicitly." by "Other servers allow modification and perform versioning without requiring an explicit checkout operation." ...: this really seems to be equivalent; any particular reason why you feel your text is clearer? Best regards, Julian
