Locking Content

Updated: October 30, 2024

Lock / Unlock

When you need to work on a document for some time, you don't want other users to edit it at the same time and disturb your own work. This is typically the case where you lock the document by clicking the icon .

A locked document remains visible to other users but only the locker or a member of the Administrators group can edit it. Other users can see the document locked through the icon .

A tooltip indicates who locked the document and when.

Only members of administrators groups can unlock document on other users' behalf so a document does not remains locked during the locker's vacation and blocks other user's work, for instance.
