Problem on Free a document

Question

Hello, 
 
 When I want to free a document, PWss4 checks the document in. ?? 
 
 Have I missed a setting in PWadmin? 
 
 Thx, Arjan

Hi Arjan, 
If you select Free option for the document it should not update the server copy of that document. 
 
However it is possible that you have other User level options enabled that keeps the local copy of the file on Free action in the working directory, and another option - use up to date local copy on check out. 
With these both options enabled you do not update the server copy of that document, but still keep this file locally. And next time opening that document (since it is newer than the one on the server) it uses the local file in your case. 
If you would purge this file from working directory, then you would get the file from server (not updated one). 
 
So it is all about what options are set for you PW user. 
Hope this helps, 
Mantas
