In the dialog window Check out catalog (accessible in PARTproject via right click on a directory > Output > Check out catalog ) there is a new option: Lower QA status [Drop QA state]. Projects may be changed during the check-out. The QA status should therefore be reduced. The option is activated by default.

Click path to the dialog box

Check out catalog dialog box > Reduce QA status [Drop QA state]

This downgrades the catalog to QA level 3 after check-out, so that a new check is necessary. If the catalogs or projects in the directory are below level 3, the status is not adjusted. The setting is activated by default, but can be deactivated if required (not recommended).
