Save Changes

After you make changes to an existing report, you have two options:

  • Save the report.

    Click Save in the ribbon toolbar.

    The report’s local copy is created in the %AppData%\Roaming\DevExpress\ReportDesigner\Drafts folder. You can close the report and finalize the revision later. The report becomes locked; other users cannot edit it until the check in or rollback.

  • Check in the report.

    Click Check In Report in the ribbon toolbar.

    This uploads a new revision and unlocks the report if it was previously locked.

    Click the drop-down arrow in the Check In Report button and select Undo Check Out in the invoked menu to undo all changes made for the current revision.
