Check out and check in a secret

Checking out a secret gives you exclusive access to the secret for a limited time.

Checking in a secret allows other approved users to access the secret.

To check out a secret:

1. Go to Secrets > Secret List.
2. In Secrets List, double-click a secret to open.

   Alternatively, in Folders, go to the folder where the secret is located, and double-click the secret to open.

   If the secret does not show up, it may be because you do not have the necessary permission to access the secret or the folder where the secret is located.

3. On the top-right, click Check-out Secret to check out the secret.

   If the Check-out Secret button does not show up, it may be because another user has checked out the secret. At a given time, only one user can check out a secret. Other approved users must wait for the secret to be checked in or wait for the checkout duration to lapse before accessing the secret. See Requires Checkout option when Creating a secret.
