Policy
Save checked-out files to a local folder
Microsoft Office 5532.1000
Policy overview
Key metadata and intent for this policy.
This policy setting allows users to save files checked out from SharePoint, or other document management server products, to a local folder when editing the files. By default, checked-out files are stored in the Office Document Cache. The Office Document Cache allows the same offline editing capabilities as a local folder, but automatically syncs the files when there is Internet connectivity. Note: It’s not recommended to enable this policy setting unless needed to support existing document management processes. If you enable this policy setting, users can specify a local folder to save checked-out files to by going to File > Options > Save > Offline editing options. If you disable or don’t configure this policy setting, checked-out files are stored in the Office Document Cache.
