If the aSync application is installed on your computer, you can edit your files on the Asite Cloud using the relevant native application on your computer.

Below are the steps on how to edit a file if you have aSync application installed on your computer:

1. Once logged in to your Asite account on the web, go to the 'Files' tab and navigate to the project folder containing the file you want to edit.

2. Right-click on the concerned file. Select 'Edit' and then select 'Edit File Locally'.

If the selected file is checked out, a prompt will appear informing you it has been checked out.

If the file you need to edit is associated with an existing form, you can use the 'Edit File Locally' option while the form is open in the viewer. To do this, open the

concerned form in the viewer, then click on the 'Files' count as applicable. The file

associations on the selected form will appear as a list. Select the associated file that

needs to be edited using the available checkbox and click on the 'Edit File' icon at the top right. Click here for further details.

If you haven't installed the aSync application and you're trying to edit a file locally using the right-click option, you will get a prompt message asking you to download the aSync application. Click here to learn how to install aSync.

3. The file will open in the default native application configured in your computer for the selected file format as applicable. You can now edit the file locally as required.

Once the file is open for editing, it will be checked out on Asite Cloud and locked for editing for other users. Only the publisher of the selected file or the administrators in the selected folder can undo the checkout or check-in (upload a new revision) on a checked-out file. Click here to understand how to undo a checkout.

Note: If a supported native application is not detected on your computer, you might be unable to open the file. If you are using Windows OS, it will prompt you to select the application you want to use to open such file types.

4. Once you have opened the file for editing, the aSync window will show the files being edited / available for editing. If the files get closed by mistake, you can still go to the 'Files being edited' section in the aSync window and click on the edit icon corresponding to the file record to resume editing.

From the aSync window, you can unlock the files selected for editing and remove the checkout. Click on the 'Unlock' link to unlock the corresponding file record. A prompt will appear to confirm if you want to unlock. Once you have responded 'Yes' to the prompt, the existing checkout on the selected project file will be removed.

Any changes to the file can be saved and published as a new revision of the selected file. Click here to understand how to upload a revised file with aSync.

When edited files are moved or deleted directly from your local aSync project folder, you can remove those records from the 'Files being edited' section by clicking on the 'Delete' icon corresponding to them.
