Every check-in produces a script. The script contains all the information about the change—enough to be able to recreate the new state of the project based on the previous state. The script, by default, is automatically distributed to all project members. It is routed to the project's Inbox tab where you will sync with the changes to create the same new state of the project.
If the file being checked in is very large—multi-MBs—the diffing may take a long time. For binary files, Code Co-op uses a very efficient binary differ, to minimize the size of the script.
A script is a regular file with the extension .snc or .znc for large chunked scripts. The Dispatcher automatically deposits scripts in your Public Inbox folder for routing. (It is located in your co-op\PublicInbox directory). You can pick up a sync script from this folder and pass it to all the other members of the project. Normally, however, you should let the automatic Dispatcher take care of propagating scripts.
Sync scripts are delivered by the Dispatcher to other members of the team. (One can also manually deposit the script directly in the PublicInbox folder, in the "co-op" directory).
