# Using the Extended Folder (Local)

If you want to operate documents in the Working Folder as if they were documents in a user folder, check out the documents so that they are downloaded to the extended folder (local) in Desk.
You can also check out documents other than DocuWorks files (extensions xdw, xbd, or xct) to the extended folder (local).
Please see the following.
