How do Check Out and Check In of public project files work?
Public project files are managed using version control. A project collaborator may download and check out a project document in order to work on it. The document will be shown as checked out to that user and the document version will advance by 1. Other collaborators must wait for the document to be checked in by the project member who checked it out. However, they may still download the document for study. However, the Project Owner may override the checkout and update the document. Once a document is checked in (uploaded) by the project collaborator who checked it out, others may check it out to work on it.
