Changing Default Checkout Path

By default, assets are checked out to the following locations:

• Mac: /Users/[YourUsername]/Documents/Evolphin Zoom
• Windows: C:\Users\[YourUsername]\My Documents\Evolphin Zoom

This location is configurable:

1. Click the Server/WC Settings section in Zoom Settings.
2. Under Default Checkout Location, click the Browse button.
3. Navigate to your new location.
4. Click Select.

Disabling Default Checkout Path

Zoom can be configured to be prompt to checkout a file every time an asset is checked out. It is, however, not recommended to disable this function unless you explicitly prefer this option.

1. Click the Server/WC Settings section in Zoom Settings.
2. Under Always Use Default Checkout Path, disable the checkbox.

Using Default Working Copy

In Zoom, you can specify a default working copy folder. Zoom will default to that working copy whenever you select options such as the Z-menu > Checkin command. This is useful when you are using the same folder all the time and need to checkin that folder quickly.

1. Click the Server/WC Settings section in Zoom Settings.
2. Under Default Working Copy, click the Browse button.
3. Navigate to your new location.
4. Click Select.
