Check-In Checkout in Power Designer

Hello.

I am a newbie and have connected to repository. I wanted to just download the documents for reference purposes with no intent of making changes. I could not find any option except to Check OUT the document. Is there any other way to download document to local from repository except checking out.

Also, I have checked out two documents and now I believe I have to check in the document back to repository. Does that a create a version stamp with my credentials, which I want to avoid ?

Please help

Thanks
