Yes. This is the current product behavior. When there is a check-in that fails, the user should get an appropriate error message.

Documents view is a client that caches the documents state. When a check-in is made from a different client (MS-Word), RTC client is not notified, until next Navigation operation (or if the user press Refresh button - similar to a web browser).

Is the error message customizable? Something to warn the user that he needs to refresh he page?
