2. Start NewsEdit on each NewsShare workstation and verify that the main title
bar indicates that it is running in shared mode.
3. Select the appropriate options for the sequences you recorded.
4. Create and open a test bin, and then open ContentShare Explorer and drag
the clip you recorded on Profile into the new NewsEdit bin.
5. Create a new sequence and drag the clip from the Bin to the Timeline.
6. Cue to the head of the sequence and play it.
7. Leave the sequence open on that workstation.
8. On a second NewsEdit workstation, navigate via the Bin Explorer to the
sequence you created on the first NewsEdit workstation.
9. Open the sequence.
10. Acknowledge the message that the sequence is edit-locked on the first machine.
11. Cue to the head of the sequence and play it.
12. Close the read-only sequence.
13. On the first NewsEdit workstation, save the sequence and close it.
