Opening a Document to Edit from the Sandbox

You can use the XMetaL Editor to open a document in the Sandbox to edit.

Important: Open the document using XMetaL options. If you open the checked out document from the Workbench, you will open the last checked in version of the document from the repository, which then overwrites the copy in the Sandbox.
In the XMetaL Editor:
Option Description
From the Repository Menu Select Open Checked-Out Document, then select the document from the list and click Open.
From the File Menu Select the file name from the Recent Files list.
The document is opened for editing in XMetaL.
