26. Checkin

Checkins in Tactic is generally the process of placing and registering all of the files that represent a "snapshot" of that object. This snapshot is a package in itself that understands all of the versioning and location for all files and/or folders that are a part of that checkin.

With the notion of each Search Object being a container, creating snapshots can be compared to creating and storing packages in this container.

From the back-end of Tactic the great aspect of this process is that this package is simply meta data that points to where the actual files and folders live in the file system. The main benefits of this that if Tactic we to be shut off, the files system will still be available and very well organized.
