About the Hand Out feature
A Macintosh Manager administrator can hand out files to members of the currently active workgroup, or to specific users that belong to the active workgroup (Figure 1). This feature is only available when logged in as a Macintosh Manager administrative user, either a Workgroup Administrator or a Global Macintosh Manager Administrator. When logged in to a Panels environment, this feature is found in the File menu. If the Hand Out command is dimmed, bring the Documents Panel to the foreground to make it available.
Note: The Hand Out feature is not available in the Finder or Restricted Finder environments, only from the Panels environment.

Where Handout items appear
Items handed out are copied to a Handouts folder, which is automatically created in the user's Documents folder as needed.
When Handout items appear
Handout items are copied to users' Documents folders when they log in to the workgroup that handouts were given to. A user who logs in to different workgroups does not receive a handout until he logs in to the specific workgroup. After the handouts are copied to a user's Documents folder, they are available to be used in any workgroups the user has access to.
Replacing items
When handing items out, you have the option to replace items with the same name. When this option is selected, a confirmation dialog appears to verify your wish to replace the files (Figure 2). If you choose to replace the files under Macintosh Manager 1.4.1, the files will be replaced. If you choose to replace the files under Macintosh Manager 2.0 and later, the existing files will be renamed and the new files will have the desired names.

Disk quotas
When handing out items to members that have exceeded their disk quota, the handed out files will not be copied to the users' Documents folders. These users must be allowed more disk space on the server, or they must delete data from their Home directories to get below the quota.
