Check Out Content from a Source Control Endpoint

After a content is checked in to a source control endpoint, you can check out the content and deploy it to a content endpoint. When the content is checked out from Source Control, the content is marked with the Git Hash Code for reference.
Verify that the content has been checked in to the source control endpoint. See Check in Content to a Source Control Endpoint.

VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
captures the content from the source control endpoint and creates a new version of the content in the content catalog. This version is marked
SourceControl Enabled
, which tells
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
the state of the content when deploying to a content endpoint so the content is checked in against the right point in time.
If you are using source control and have multiple capture content endpoints, only deploy content from the content catalog is marked
SourceControl Enabled
. This communicates the state of the content when deploying to a content endpoint so the content is checked in against the right point in time.
