Dibs: Byline checkoutDibs: Byline checked outDibs: My checkoutsDibs: Admin activity

Check out one file or a whole page of files with a reason and an expiry. A banner shows who has what. If someone uploads over a checked-out file, Dibs tells both people and can restore the holder's version. Runs on Atlassian.

What you get

Check out every file on a page at once

Select the files you are about to edit, add a reason and an expiry, done. Release them together when you're finished, or have your next upload release them for you.

A banner everyone sees

The page tells readers which files are checked out, by whom and until when, before anyone opens the file. The byline shows how many are checked out and how many are yours.

Overwritten? Restored, and both people told

Confluence can't block an upload, so Dibs reacts right after: it mentions both people in a page comment and, in Restore mode, makes the holder's version current again. Nothing is deleted.
