In a system that manages documents, such as Nuxeo or LogicalDOC DMS the Check-in could also trigger versioning.

So it would produce a new version of the document using the latest file uploaded. Versioning allows to track changes in a document and get an earlier release.

Im not sure if this questions belongs here but in laymans term:

Check Out: is when you permit/disable access to a certain module/document by any other program/user

Check In: is when you save your changes to the server and allow access to the document/module
