What action is performed by clicking the Edit link next to a batch?

Clicking the Edit link next to a batch typically allows you to make modifications to the batch's details or its contents. The action of checking the batch out is consistent with the process of editing because it indicates that the batch is being temporarily removed from general access so that you can work on it without interference from others. Once a batch is checked out, the user making edits can adjust the batch information or work on the tasks contained within it.

This operation is an essential part of managing batch processes effectively, particularly in collaborative environments where multiple users may need to access or modify batches. By checking the batch out, the system ensures that you have control over the modifications until you are ready to check it back in and submit the changes, thus preventing any conflicts or disruptions from other users during the editing process.
