Updating placed files
By default, when a layout or layout template is opened for editing, all placed content is updated to its latest version. The system can also be configured to not update placed files of a certain type when the layout is opened. This makes it possible to verify each change, manually update each file and make adjustments when needed.
Opening a layout for editing
Opening a layout that is stored in Studio Server can be done from the Studio panel or the Dossier panel.

To open a layout, do one of the following:
- Double-click it
- Right-click it and choose Open from the context menu
- Select it in a panel and press Enter
Checked-out and checked-in layouts
When a layout is opened for editing, it is 'checked-out' of Studio Server, meaning that the layout is locked and other users are prevented from editing the layout until it is checked-in again.
Opening a layout as read-only
Use this method to view the content of the layout without checking-out the layout, thereby making it possible for other users to open it for editing.
To perform this action, do the following:
- Right-click the layout in the Studio panel or the Dossier panel and choose Open Read-Only.
Layouts that are opened as read-only can be distinguished from regularly opened layouts by the phrase [Read-Only] in the tab or title bar.
