Check Out/In/LockThe checked out/in icon, represented by a lightbulb, reflects the state of an OU Campus page or file. When a user edits a page by clicking on an editable region button, or clicks to a  from a list view, the page is automatically checked out to that user. Likewise, when the user publishes a page it is automatically checked back in. If the page is checked out to another user, a lock icon is shown.
