The "None" lock allows other developers to check out the same file. The "Check Out" lock prohibits all check outs and check in of the file. The "Check In" lock prohibits checking in, but allows the file to be checked out.
Some things to remember when working in teams using multiple checkouts:
- When working on a project file or configuration file, check out the file using the "Check Out" lock.
- When working on a code file that another developer created, try to not move code around. This seems to confuse the merge.
- When working on code that is shared and can cause major breaking changes, use the "Check Out" lock.
