## 9.6. Modifying Objects Under Version Control

In order to modify an object under version control, you must place the object in an exclusive editing mode. This process is called “checking out the object” and once it is performed you are said to have the object “checked out.” You can modify an object under version control only if you have `Modify` permission on the object and the object is in a state that allows modification (checked out).

When you are done modifying the object and want to exit the exclusive editing mode, you can check in the object. Once that is performed, you are said to have the object “checked in.”

If you want to exit the exclusive editing mode without saving modifications to the object, you can undo the checkout. The object will revert to the state it was in prior to checkout.
