    Hi,

     

    When you add an existing item to a project, TestComplete just adds reference to the file. Physically, this file is still located in the folder with project suite 2. Since there is no file in the folder with project suite 1, you cannot check in it. It's expected behavior. 

     

    You can check in this file only from project suite 2. Or, copy the ".tcKDTest" file to the "<projectsSuite1>\<Project1>\KeywordTests" folder and after that add it to project suite 1 using the same approach (Add | Existing Item). In this case, you should be able to check in this file.
