# Check out a project

If version management is active, you must check out a project to make changes to the project or its components.

You check out a project in an environment. Each user in this environment can make changes to the checked-out project. If a project is checked out, it cannot be checked out in another environment.

You can only check out the latest project version. If you check out a project and the active version is not the latest version, you can choose to first get the latest version. If you do not get the latest version, the project is not checked out.

### Steps

1. Go to **Connectivity studio** > **Common** > **Projects**.
2. In the list, find and select the desired project.
3. On the **Action Pane**, click **Deploy**.
4. Click **Check out**.
5. You can run **Check out** in the background. So, while the project is checked out, you can continue with other activities in the environment.

Select **Yes** in the **Run in background** field.
6. Click **OK**.
7. If you check out a project and the active version is not the latest version, you can choose **Yes** to first get the latest version.

If you choose **No**, you do not get the latest version and the project is not checked out.

Click **Yes**.
8. Close the page.
